QA:Testcase firewalld direct
Firewalld has a so called direct interface, which enables to more directly pass rules to iptables/ip6tables/ebtables. This could be useful if a user doesn't want to use the concept of (pre-)defined services, but wants to directly use iptables/ip6tables/ebtables. Firewalld still tracks what's been added, so it's possible to query firewalld.
See also Direct Option in firewall-cmd(1) man page.
How to test
Adding a custom rule to IN_ZONE_public_allow chain
firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter IN_ZONE_public_allow 0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT
Query if that rule exists
firewall-cmd --direct --query-rule ipv4 filter IN_ZONE_public_allow -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT; echo $?
expected result: 0
firewall-cmd --direct --get-rules ipv4 filter IN_ZONE_public_allow
expected result: -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT
Remove the rule
firewall-cmd --direct --remove-rule ipv4 filter IN_ZONE_public_allow -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT
