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.

BUGS
       None known as of iptables-1.2.1 release
