I don't see a "--save" option in the iptables man file, so I don't see
what you'd expect it to do.  There is a "--save-mark" option, though,
but that's an entirely different thing.

There is a separate iptables-save command, but you have to specify what
file it saves to.  By default, it will just dump to std-out (the command
line console where you'd typed the command).

The first one uses the init script to handle saving.  It's configured to
save the settings to the place it initially loads them from.
