- .SH NAME
- iptables-apply \- a safer way to update iptables remotely
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- \fBiptables\-apply\fP [\-\fBhV\fP] [\fB-t\fP \fItimeout\fP] \fIruleset\-file\fP
- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .PP
- iptables\-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by
- iptables\-save/read by iptables\-restore) to iptables, then prompt the
- user whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing
- connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this
- case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout
- expired. The timeout can be set with \fB\-t\fP.
- .PP
- When called as \fBip6tables\-apply\fP, the script will use
- ip6tables\-save/\-restore instead.
