firewall-applet — firewalld applet
firewall-applet [OPTIONS...]
firewall-applet does not support any special options.
The following options are supported:
-h, --helpPrints a short help text and exists.
firewall-applet has additional settings to adapt the look and feel. QSettings is used and stores them in ~/.config/firewall/applet.conf. The file is automatically reloaded if it has been changed and the new settings will immediately be effective.
There is also the global config file /etc/firewall/applet.conf, which contains the default values. The settings in this file will be overloaded by settings in the user settings file.
