IPTABLES-SAVE(8)		 iptables 1.8.13		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  exe-
	    cutable'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 appro-
	    priate 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.
