Description David Kovalsky 2008-12-05 16:08:33 UTC
Man page for iptables-restore doesn't contain much info. It's missing most options that -h knows of. 

man 8 iptables-restore has info only about '-c' and '-n' options. 

[root@kovy ~]# iptables-restore -h
Usage: iptables-restore [-b] [-c] [-v] [-t] [-h]
           [ --binary ]
           [ --counters ]
           [ --verbose ]
           [ --test ]
           [ --help ]
           [ --noflush ]
          [ --modprobe=<command>]

Expected results:
iptables-restore man page contains more information. 

iptables-1.3.5-4.el5

Some options are not implemented, so the maintainer will fix the usage properly.

Granting Devel ACK for that.

Thanks & regards, Phil
