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 argument.
-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 specified, both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the respec-
tive table.

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 exe-
