This module matches a set of source or destination ports. Up to 15 ports can be specified. A port range (port:port) counts as two ports. It can only be used in conjunction with .B "-p tcp" or .BR "-p udp" . .TP [\fB!\fP] \fB--source-ports\fP,\fB--sport\fP \fIport\fP[\fB,\fP\fIport\fP|\fB,\fP\fIport\fP\fB:\fP\fIport\fP]... Match if the source port is one of the given ports. The flag .B --sports is a convenient alias for this option. Multiple ports or port ranges are separated using a comma, and a port range is specified using a colon. \fB53,1024:65535\fP would therefore match ports 53 and all from 1024 through 65535. .TP [\fB!\fP] \fB--destination-ports\fP,\fB--dport\fP \fIport\fP[\fB,\fP\fIport\fP|\fB,\fP\fIport\fP\fB:\fP\fIport\fP]... Match if the destination port is one of the given ports. The flag .B --dports is a convenient alias for this option. .TP [\fB!\fP] \fB--ports\fP \fIport\fP[\fB,\fP\fIport\fP|\fB,\fP\fIport\fP\fB:\fP\fIport\fP]... Match if either the source or destination ports are equal to one of the given ports.
