.SH NAME
.PP
firehol-version - set version number of configuration file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
version 6
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[V]version\f[R] helper command states the configuration file
version.
.PP
If the value passed is newer than the running version of FireHOL
supports, FireHOL will not run.
.PP
You do not have to specify a version number for a configuration file,
but by doing so you will prevent FireHOL trying to process a file which
it cannot handle.
.PP
The value that FireHOL expects is increased every time that the
configuration file format changes.
.RS
.PP
\f[B]Note\f[R]
.PP
If you pass version 5 to FireHOL, it will disable IPv6 support and warn
you that you must update your configuration.
