| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| .B iptables-save |
| and |
| .B 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. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-modprobe\fR \fImodprobe_program\fP |
| Specify the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-save will |
| inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the executable's path. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-file\fR \fIfilename\fP |
| Specify a filename to log the output to. If not specified, iptables-save |
| will log to STDOUT. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-counters\fR |
| include the current values of all packet and byte counters in the output |
| .TP |
| \fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-table\fR \fItablename\fP |
| 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. |
| .br |
| If not specified, output includes all available tables. |
| .SH BUGS |
