Linux: Iptables List and Show All NAT Tables Rules Command

I am using /sbin/iptables -L -v -n | more command. However, I am unable to list NAT rules. How do I use iptables to view or list NAT rules stored in NAT tables? How do I see all the rules in NAT tables under CentOS / RHEL based server?

/sbin/iptables command for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT. Network address translation (NAT) imodifyies IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a routing device.

To see NAT rules type:

iptables -t nat -L iptables -t nat -L -n -v | grep 'something' iptables -t nat -L -n -v

Sample outputs:

Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 867 packets, 146K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
