NAME
       iptables-save -- dump iptables rules to stdout

       ip6tables-save -- dump iptables rules to stdout

SYNOPSIS
       iptables-save [-M,--modprobe modprobe] [-c] [-t table]

       ip6tables-save [-M,--modprobe modprobe] [-c] [-t table]

DESCRIPTION
       iptables-save and ip6tables-save are used to dump the contents of IP or
       IPv6 Table in easily parseable format to	 STDOUT.  Use  I/O-redirection
       provided by your shell to write to a file.

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

       -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.
