Use I/O-redirection provided by your shell to write to a file. +.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 \fBtablename\fR +.TP +restrict output to only one table. If not specified, output includes all +available tables. +.SH BUGS +.B iptables-save +doesn't order user-defined chains and builtin chains in any specific manner. +This raises some dependency problems when using the unmodified output of +.B iptables-save +as input for +.B iptables-restore. +Expect this to be fixed in the next iptables release. +To make it work, reorder the output in a way that in every table, all +user-defined chains are created before any other chain uses this chain +as target. +.SH AUTHOR +Harald Welte +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR iptables-restore "(8), " iptables "(8) " +.PP +The iptables-HOWTO, which details more iptables usage, the NAT-HOWTO, +which details NAT, and the netfilter-hacking-HOWTO which details the +internals. -- cgit v1.2.3
