Hi,
    I want to know if I could get how many rules are present, i.e in
    filter table?

    Now I do `iptables -L | wc -l` like stuff, I know it's not right,
    but iptables itself doesn't seem to count rules anyway.

    I need this just to let user to know how many rules are present,
    without root privileges, and now being able to view actual rules.
