The "value" of "-m dscp -dscp" for iptables command

Hello,

    I find a bug in the manpage of iptables:
    The description for the value in option "-m dscp
-dscp" should be
modified to 0~63.

    The option can match 6 bit DSCP field within the TOS
field in the IP
header.
    So the range for the option should be 0~(2^6-1)£¬that is
0~63.

    1) use "iptables -m dscp --dscp 63" :
         1. iptables -A INPUT -m dscp --dscp 63
         2. iptables -L INPUT | grep "DSCP match
0x3f"

    I have made a patch for the manpage of the
iptables-1.3.5-1.2.1.

    The content of the patch:

diff -ru iptables-1.3.5.org/extensions/libipt_dscp.man 
iptables-1.3.5/extensions/libipt_dscp.man
