//! **Rust-based firewall for network drivers.**
//!
//! # Purpose
//!
//! This library is used to match network packets against a set of constraints (here called *firewall rules*)
//! with the aim of deciding whether to permit or deny incoming/outgoing traffic.
//!
//! Given a set of firewall rules and a network packet, the library will *inform* the user
//! about *how* to handle the packet.
//!
//! The library assumes that users are able to manipulate the stream of network packets in a way such
//! it's possible to take proper actions to allow or deny the forwarding of single packets
//! between the operating system and the network card; consequently, this framework is mainly intended
//! to be used at the level of *network drivers*.
//!
//! # Firewall definition
//!
//! A new [`Firewall`] object is defined via the [`Firewall::new`] method, which accepts as parameter
//! the path of a file defining a collection of firewall rules.
//!
//! Each of the **rules** defined in the file is placed on a new line and has the following structure:
//! ``` txt
//! DIRECTION ACTION [OPTIONS]
//! ```
//!
//! * `DIRECTION` can be either `IN` or `OUT` and represents the traffic directionality
//! (see [`FirewallDirection`]).
//!
//! * `ACTION` can be either `ACCEPT`, `DENY`, or `REJECT` and represents the action
//! associated with the rule (see [`FirewallAction`]).
//!
//! * For each rule, a list of **options** can be specified to match the desired traffic:
//! * `--dest`: destination IP addresses; the value is expressed in the form of a comma-separated
//! list of IP addresses, in which each entry can also represent an address range (using the `-` character).
//! * `--dport`: destination transport ports; the value is expressed in the form of a comma-separated
//! list of port numbers, in which each entry can also represent a port range (using the `:` character).
//! * `--icmp-type`: ICMP message type; the value is expressed as a number representing
//! a specific message type (see [here](https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters/icmp-parameters.xhtml#icmp-parameters-types) for more info).
//! * `--proto`: Internet Protocol number; the value is expressed as a number representing
//! a specific protocol number (see [here](https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml#protocol-numbers-1) for more info).
//! * `--source`: source IP addresses; the value is expressed in the form of a comma-separated
//! list of IP addresses, in which each entry can also represent an address range (using the `-` character).
//! * `--sport`: source transport ports; the value is expressed in the form of a comma-separated
//! list of port numbers, in which each entry can also represent a port range (using the `:` character).
//!
//! A **sample** firewall configuration file is reported in the following:
//!
//! ``` txt
//! OUT REJECT --source 8.8.8.8 --sport 6700:6800,8080
//! OUT DENY --source 192.168.200.0-192.168.200.255 --sport 6700:6800,8080 --dport 1,2,2000
//! IN ACCEPT --source 2.1.1.2,2.1.1.3 --dest 2.1.1.1 --proto 1
//! IN REJECT --source 2.1.1.2 --dest 2.1.1.1 --proto 1 --icmp-type 8
//! OUT REJECT
//! IN ACCEPT
//! ```
//!
//! In case of invalid firewall configurations, a [`FirewallError`] will be returned.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Once a [`Firewall`] has been defined, it can be used to determine which action to take for each
//! of the netwrok packets in transit.
//!
//! This is done by invoking [`Firewall::resolve_packet`], which will answer with the
//! action to take for the supplied packet.
//!
//! ```
//! use nullnet_firewall::{Firewall, FirewallDirection, FirewallAction};
//!
//! // build the firewall from the rules in a file
//! let firewall = Firewall::new("./samples/firewall.txt").unwrap();
//!
//! // here we suppose to have a packet to match against the firewall
//! let packet = [/* ... */];
//!
//! // determine action for packet, supposing incoming direction for packet
//! let action = firewall.resolve_packet(&packet, &FirewallDirection::IN);
//!
//! // act accordingly
//! match action {
//! FirewallAction::ACCEPT => {/* ... */}
//! FirewallAction::DENY => {/* ... */}
//! FirewallAction::REJECT => {/* ... */}
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! An existing firewall can be temporarily [disabled](Firewall::disable),
//! and the default [input policy](Firewall::set_policy_in) and
//! [output policy](Firewall::set_policy_out) can
//! be overridden for packets that doesn't match any of the firewall rules.
