+.SH NAME
+iptables-apply \- a safer way to update iptables remotely
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBiptables\-apply\fP [\-\fBhV\fP] [\fB-t\fP \fItimeout\fP] \fIruleset\-file\fP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+iptables\-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by
+iptables\-save/read by iptables\-restore) to iptables, then prompt the
+user whether the changes are okay. 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 \fBip6tables\-apply\fP, the script will use
+ip6tables\-save/\-restore instead.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
