DESCRIPTION

17       iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and  IPv6
18       Tables  from  data  specified on STDIN. Use I/O redirection provided by
19       your shell to read from a file
20
21       -c, --counters
22              restore the values of all packet and byte counters
23
24       -h, --help
25              Print a short option summary.
26
27       -n, --noflush
28              don't flush the previous contents of the table.  If  not  speci‐
29              fied,  both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the
30              respective table.
31
32       -t, --test
33              Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.
34
35       -v, --verbose
36              Print additional debug info during ruleset processing.
37
38       -V, --version
39              Print the program version number.
40
41       -w, --wait [seconds]
42              Wait for the xtables lock.  To prevent multiple instances of the
43              program  from  running  concurrently, an attempt will be made to
44              obtain an exclusive lock at launch.   By  default,  the  program
45              will exit if the lock cannot be obtained.  This option will make
46              the program wait (indefinitely or for  optional  seconds)  until
47              the exclusive lock can be obtained.
48
49       -W, --wait-interval microseconds
50              Interval  to wait per each iteration.  When running latency sen‐
51              sitive applications, waiting for the xtables lock  for  extended
52              durations  may  not  be  acceptable.  This option will make each
53              iteration take the amount of time specified. The default  inter‐
54              val is 1 second. This option only works with -w.
55
56       -M, --modprobe modprobe_program
57              Specify  the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-
58              restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine  the
59              executable's path.
60
61       -T, --table name
62              Restore  only  the named table even if the input stream contains
63              other ones.
