They are included.

Well, one of the goals of IPFilter is it can parse (as rules) a textual
representation of what's currently loaded into the kernel.  At the moment
that means collecting hex output, as the bytecode instructions are less
suited to being displayed all on the one line.

i.e. this command line should always work :
ipfstat -io | ipf -rf -

Well, there different rules for "compiling in" rules and making that happen,
but in general, the aim is for any rule loaded using "ipf" to work as above.
