If the new iptables rules cut the existing connection, the user will not be\nable to answer affirmatively. In this case, the script rolls back to the previous working\niptables rules after the timeout expires.\n\nSuccessfully applied rules can also be written to savefile and later used to roll back to\nthis state. This can be used to implement a store last good configuration mechanism when\nexperimenting with an iptables setup script: iptables-apply -w /etc/network/iptables.up.rules\n-c /etc/network/iptables.up.run\n\nWhen called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore and IPv6 default\nvalues instead. Default value for rulesfile is '/etc/network/iptables.up.rules'.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### -t --timeout\n\nSets the timeout in seconds after which the script will roll back to the previous\nruleset (default: 10).\n\n#### -w --write\n\nSpecify the savefile where successfully applied rules will be written to (default if\nempty string is given: /etc/network/iptables.up.rules).\n\n#### -c --command\n\nRun command runcmd to configure iptables instead of applying a rulesfile (default:\n/etc/network/iptables.up.run).\n\n#### -h --help\n\nDisplay usage information.\n\n#### -V --version\n\nDisplay version information.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\niptables-restore(8), iptables-save(8), iptables(8).\n\n### LEGALESE\n\nOriginal iptables-apply - Copyright 2006 Martin F.
