-L, --list [chain]
List all rules in the selected chain. If no chain is selected, all chains are listed. Like every
other iptables command, it applies to the specified table (filter is the default), so NAT rules
get listed by
iptables -t nat -n -L
Please note that it is often used with the -n option, in order to avoid long reverse DNS lookups.
It is legal to specify the -Z (zero) option as well, in which case the chain(s) will be atomically
listed and zeroed. The exact output is affected by the other arguments given. The exact rules are
suppressed until you use
iptables -L -v
|
-n, --numeric
Numeric output. IP addresses and port numbers will be printed in numeric format. By default, the
program will try to display them as host names, network names, or services (whenever applicable).
