Keyword and Value	Description

--tcp_flags	Specify the TCP flags to match in a packet.
<FSRPAU120>[!*+]	• S: Match the SYN flag.
[,<FSRPAU120>];	• A: Match the ACK flag.
	• A: Match the ACK flag.
	• F: Match the FIN flag.
	• R: Match the RST flag.
	• U: Match the URG flag.
	• P: Match the PSH flag.
	• 1: Match Reserved bit 1.
	• 2: Match Reserved bit 2.
	• 0: Match No TCP flags set.
	• +: Match on the specified bits, plus any
	others.
	• *: Match if any of the specified bits are set.
	• !: Match if the specified bits are not set.
	The first part if the value (<FSRPAU120>) defines
	the bits that must present for a successful match.
	For example:
	--tcp_flags AP
	only matches the case where both A and P bits
	are set.
	The second part ([,<FSRPAU120>]) is optional,
	and defines the additional bits that can present
	for a match. For example:
	tcp_flags S,12
	matches the following combinations of flags: S, S
	and 1, S and 2, S and 1 and 2.
	The modifiers !, * and + can not be used in the
	second part.
--window_size	Check for the specified TCP window size.
[!]<window_int>;	You can specify the window size as a
	hexadecimal or decimal integer. A hexadecimal
	value must be preceded by 0x.
	To have the FortiGate search for the absence of
	the specified window size, add an exclamation
	mark (!) before the window size.
