IPTABLES-SAVE(8)		iptables 1.8.11		      IPTABLES-SAVE(8)

NAME
       iptables-save — dump iptables rules

       ip6tables-save — dump iptables rules

SYNOPSIS
       iptables-save [-M modprobe] [-c] [-t table] [-f filename]

       ip6tables-save [-M modprobe] [-c] [-t table] [-f filename]

DESCRIPTION
       iptables-save and ip6tables-save are used to dump the contents of IP or
       IPv6 Table in easily parseable format either to STDOUT or to a
       specified file.

       -M, --modprobe modprobe
	      Specify the path to the modprobe(8) program. By default,
	      iptables-save will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to
	      determine the executable's path.

       -f, --file filename
	      Specify a filename to log the output to. If not specified,
	      iptables-save will log to STDOUT.

       -c, --counters
	      Include the current values of all packet and byte counters in
	      the output.

       -t, --table tablename
	      Restrict output to only one table. If the kernel is configured
	      with automatic module loading, an attempt will be made to load
	      the appropriate module for that table if it is not already
	      there.
	      If not specified, output includes all available tables. No
	      module loading takes place, so in order to include a specific
	      table in the output, the respective module (something like
	      iptable_mangle or ip6table_raw) must be loaded first.
