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 ip6tables\-apply, the script will use +ip6tables\-save/\-restore instead. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-t\fP \fIseconds\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\fP \fIseconds\fR +Sets the timeout after which the script will roll back to the previous +ruleset. +.TP +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP +Display usage information. +.TP +\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP +Display version information. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBiptables-restore\fP(8), \fBiptables-save\fP(8), \fBiptables\fR(8). +.SH LEGALESE +.PP +iptables\-apply is copyright by Martin F.
