SYNOPSIS

name] [file]
DESCRIPTION
iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and IPv6
Tables from data specified on STDIN or in file. Use I/O redirection
provided by your shell to read from a file or specify file as an argu-
ment.
-c, --counters
restore the values of all packet and byte counters
-h, --help
Print a short option summary.
-n, --noflush
don't flush the previous contents of the table. If not speci-
fied, both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the
respective table.
-t, --test
Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.
-v, --verbose
Print additional debug info during ruleset processing. Specify
multiple times to increase debug level.
-V, --version
Print the program version number.
-w, --wait [seconds]
Wait for the xtables lock. To prevent multiple instances of the
program from running concurrently, an attempt will be made to
obtain an exclusive lock at launch. By default, the program
will exit if the lock cannot be obtained. This option will make
the program wait (indefinitely or for optional seconds) until
the exclusive lock can be obtained.
-M, --modprobe modprobe_program
Specify the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-
restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the
executable's path.
-T, --table name
Restore only the named table even if the input stream contains
other ones.
