.SH MATCH EXTENSIONS

iptables can use extended packet matching modules

with the \fB\-m\fP or \fB\-\-match\fP

options, followed by the matching module name; after these, various

extra command line options become available, depending on the specific

module.  You can specify multiple extended match modules in one line,

and you can use the \fB\-h\fP or \fB\-\-help\fP

options after the module has been specified to receive help specific

to that module.  The extended match modules are evaluated in the order

they are specified in the rule.

.PP

If the \fB\-p\fP or \fB\-\-protocol\fP was specified and if and only if an

unknown option is encountered, iptables will try load a match module of the

same name as the protocol, to try making the option available.
