IPTABLES-RESTORE(8)             iptables 1.8.9             IPTABLES-RESTORE(8)

NAME

       ip6tables-restore — Restore IPv6 Tables

SYNOPSIS
       iptables-restore [-chntvV] [-w secs] [-W usecs] [-M modprobe] [-T name]
       [file]

       ip6tables-restore [-chntvV] [-w secs]  [-W  usecs]  [-M  modprobe]  [-T
       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.
