-.SH NAME
-iptables-xml \(em Convert iptables-save format to XML
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBiptables\-xml\fP [\fB\-c\fP] [\fB\-v\fP]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-.B iptables-xml
-is used to convert the output of iptables-save into an easily manipulatable
-XML format to STDOUT.  Use I/O-redirection provided by your shell to write to 
-a file.
-.TP
-\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-combine\fR
-combine consecutive rules with the same matches but different targets. iptables
-does not currently support more than one target per match, so this simulates 
-that by collecting the targets from consecutive iptables rules into one action
-tag, but only when the rule matches are identical. Terminating actions like
-RETURN, DROP, ACCEPT and QUEUE are not combined with subsequent targets.
-.TP
-\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
-Output xml comments containing the iptables line from which the XML is derived
-
-.PP
-iptables-xml does a mechanistic conversion to a very expressive xml
-format; the only semantic considerations are for \-g and \-j targets in
-order to discriminate between <call> <goto> and <nane-of-target> as it
-helps xml processing scripts if they can tell the difference between a
-target like SNAT and another chain.
-
-Some sample output is:
-
-<iptables-rules>
-  <table name="mangle">
-    <chain name="PREROUTING" policy="ACCEPT" packet-count="63436"
-byte-count="7137573">
-      <rule>
-       <conditions>
-        <match>
-          <p>tcp</p>
-        </match>
-        <tcp>
-          <sport>8443</sport>
-        </tcp>
-       </conditions>
-       <actions>
-        <call>
-          <check_ip/>
-        </call>
-        <ACCEPT/>
-       </actions>
-      </rule>
-    </chain>
-  </table>
-</iptables-rules>
-
-.PP
-Conversion from XML to iptables-save format may be done using the 
-iptables.xslt script and xsltproc, or a custom program using
-libxsltproc or similar; in this fashion:
-
-xsltproc iptables.xslt my-iptables.xml | iptables-restore
