description
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 -t.
When called as
ip6tables-apply, the script will use
ip6tables-save/-restore instead.
