+.SH NAME
+iptables-xml \- Convert iptables-save format to XML
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BR "iptables-xml " "[-c] [-v]"
+.br
+.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
+
