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 pro-
       vided 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.

BUGS
       None known as of iptables-1.2.1 release
