ip-rule:tldr:ce0c9
This command is used to save the current IP rules configuration to a file named "ip_rules.dat" or any specified file using the variable ${path-to-ip_rules-dat}.
Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
-
ip rule
: This is the command-line tool in Linux used to manage the rules within the IP routing table. The routing table determines how network traffic is directed. -
save
: This is an argument or parameter for theip rule
command. It instructs the command to save the current IP rules configuration. -
>
: This is a shell feature that redirects the output of a command to a file instead of the terminal screen. In this case, it redirects the output of theip rule save
command. -
${path-to-ip_rules-dat}
: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual path to the desired file name for storing the IP rules configuration. For example, if you want to save the configuration to a file called "ip_rules.dat" in the current directory, you would replace ${path-to-ip_rules-dat} with "ip_rules.dat".
