+
+Find all firewall rules that match the given criteria. Expects a table with search criteria as only argument.
+If args is nil or an empty table then all rules will be returned.
+
+The following keys in the args table are recognized:
+
+ - table Match rules that are located within the given table
+ - chain Match rules that are located within the given chain
+ - target Match rules with the given target
+ - protocol Match rules that match the given protocol, rules with protocol "all" are always matched
+ - source Match rules with the given source, rules with source "0.0.0.0/0" are always matched
+ - destination Match rules with the given destination, rules with destination "0.0.0.0/0" are always matched
+ - inputif Match rules with the given input interface, rules with input interface "*" (=all) are always matched
+ - outputif Match rules with the given output interface, rules with output interface "*" (=all) are always matched
+ - flags Match rules that match the given flags, current supported values are "-f" (--fragment) and "!f" (! --fragment)
+ - options Match rules containing all given options
+
+The return value is a list of tables representing the matched rules.
+Each rule table contains the following fields:
+
+ - index The index number of the rule
+ - table The table where the rule is located, can be one of "filter", "nat" or "mangle"
+ - chain The chain where the rule is located, e.g. "INPUT" or "postrouting_wan"
+ - target The rule target, e.g. "REJECT" or "DROP"
+ - protocol The matching protocols, e.g. "all" or "tcp"
+ - flags Special rule options ("--", "-f" or "!f")
+ - inputif Input interface of the rule, e.g. "eth0.0" or "*" for all interfaces
+ - outputif Output interface of the rule, e.g. "eth0.0" or "*" for all interfaces
+ - source The source ip range, e.g. "0.0.0.0/0"
+ - destination The destination ip range, e.g. "0.0.0.0/0"
+ - options A list of specific options of the rule, e.g. { "reject-with", "tcp-reset" }
+ - packets The number of packets matched by the rule
+ - bytes The number of total bytes matched by the rule
+
+Example:

+ target="REJECT",
+ protocol="tcp",
