+Wait for the xtables lock. |
|
+To prevent multiple instances of the program from running concurrently, |
|
+an attempt will be made to obtain an exclusive lock at launch. By default, |
|
+the program will exit if the lock cannot be obtained. This option will |
|
+make the program wait (indefinitely or for optional \fIseconds\fP) until |
|
+the exclusive lock can be obtained. |

+\fB\-W\fP, \fB\-\-wait-interval\fP \fImicroseconds\fP |
|
+Interval to wait per each iteration. |
|
+When running latency sensitive applications, waiting for the xtables lock |
|
+for extended durations may not be acceptable. This option will make each |
|
+iteration take the amount of time specified. The default interval is |
|
+1 second. This option only works with \fB\-w\fP. |

Specify the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-restore will |

inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the executable's path.
