        ==================
        
        
        **iptables-converter**: convert iptables to iptables-save format, output
        comes with [0:0] for iptables-restore -c
        
        **ip6tables-converter**: convert ip6tables to ip6tables-save format,
        output comes with [0:0] for ip6tables-restore -c

        **iptables-converter** speeds up loading of iptables-commands by
        converting them to iptables-save format, and then loading them through
        iptables-restore is much more quicker than loading the plain commands.
        The loading itself is not part of iptables-converter.
        
        Usage:
        
        ::
        
            iptables-converter [ -d destination ] [ -s source ] [ --sloppy ]
            ip6tables-converter [ -d destination ] [ -s source ] [ --sloppy ]
        
        This assumes that **source** is a plain ascii-file containing lines
        starting with **iptables** to build a firewall ruleset. Lines starting
        with **/sbin/iptables** are understood as well. Omitting -s source
        defaults to reading a file named **rules**. An optional **sloppy**
        parameter makes premature definitions (-N name) of any user defined
        chains unneccessary, they are defined automatically by first mentioning
        them. Optionally **-d destination** writes everything into the given
        destination file since verstion 0.9.10. Omitting this option results in
        writing Output to stdout, which is the default behavior. Packet-counters
        and byte-counters include [0:0] which keeps compatibility to
        iptables-restore as well as to **iptables-restore -c**.
        
        **ip6tables-converter** works for ip6tables just the same way.
        
        Both they work for **filter**, **mangle**, **nat** and **raw** tables,
        **security** tables are not supported for now.
        
        From version 0.9.10 on it works as a python-module using entry-points
        for easier imports. For your convienience, the module is named
        **iptables\_conv**.
        
        At travis-ci.org the **tests** are run automatically, thanks to Guido!
        To run them locally, please use python:
        
        ::
        
            python setup test
        
        or tox, which is the preferred testrunner.
        **iptables-converter** is tested to work well with python2.7, python3.5
        and python3.6.  The tests are
        done using pytest for easier writing future testcases. Some sphinx
        documentation is prepared. Debian packages are provided for the
        `binaries <https://packages.debian.org/sid/iptables-converter>`__ and
        `sphinx-documentation <https://packages.debian.org/sid/iptables-converter-doc>`__.
        git-buildpackage creates them on the fly. RPMs may be created by python::
        
            setup.py bdist_rpm
        
        Any comments welcome.
        
        Have fun!
