\fB\-\-set\-xmark\fP \fIvalue\fP[\fB/\fP\fImask\fP]
Zero out the bits given by \fImask\fR and XOR \fIvalue\fR into the ctmark.
This target is used to set the Netfilter mark value associated with the packet.
The target can only be used in the \fBmangle\fR table. It can, for example, be
-used in conjunction with routing based on fwmark (needs iproute2).
