NAME

       iptables-save - dump iptables rules to stdout

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       iptables-save  is  used  to  dump the contents of an IP Table in easily
       parseable format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection provided by your  shell
       to write to a file.

       -M 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  not  specified,  output
              includes all available tables.
