SYNOPSIS
       iptables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

       ip6tables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       iptables-restore  and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and IPv6
       Tables from data specified on STDIN or in  file.  Use  I/O  redirection
       provided  by your shell to read from a file or specify file as an argu-
       ment.

       -c, --counters
	      restore the values of all packet and byte counters

       -h, --help
	      Print a short option summary.

       -n, --noflush
	      don't flush the previous contents of the table.  If  not	speci-
	      fied,  both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the
	      respective table.

       -t, --test
	      Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print additional debug info during ruleset processing.

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

       -T, --table name
	      Restore only the named table even if the input  stream  contains
	      other ones.
