+\fB\-w\fP, \fB\-\-wait\fP [\fIseconds\fP]
+Wait for the xtables lock.
+To prevent multiple instances of the program from running concurrently,
+an attempt will be made to obtain an exclusive lock at launch.  By default,
+the program will exit if the lock cannot be obtained.  This option will
+make the program wait (indefinitely or for optional \fIseconds\fP) until
+the exclusive lock can be obtained.
+.TP
+\fB\-W\fP, \fB\-\-wait-interval\fP \fImicroseconds\fP
+Interval to wait per each iteration.
+When running latency sensitive applications, waiting for the xtables lock
+for extended durations may not be acceptable. This option will make each
+iteration take the amount of time specified. The default interval is
+1 second. This option only works with \fB\-w\fP.
+.TP
 \fB\-M\fP, \fB\-\-modprobe\fP \fImodprobe_program\fP
 Specify the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-restore will
 inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the executable's path.
