DESCRIPTION

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