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.

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

	      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-
	      cutable's path.

       -T, --table name
