NAME

       actions - shorewall6 action declaration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall6/actions

DESCRIPTION

       This file allows you to define new ACTIONS for use in rules (see shorewall6-rules(5)[1]).
       You define the ip6tables rules to be performed in an ACTION in
       /etc/shorewall6/action.action-name.

       Columns are:

       NAME
           The name of the action. ACTION names should begin with an upper-case letter to
           distinguish them from Shorewall-generated chain names and be composed of letters,
           digits or numbers. If you intend to log from the action then the name must be no
           longer than 11 characters in length if you use the standard LOGFORMAT.

       OPTIONS
           Added in Shorewall 4.5.10. Available options are:

           builtin
               Added in Shorewall 4.5.16. Defines the action as a rule target that is supported
               by your ip6tables but is not directly supported by Shorewall. The action may be
               used as the rule target in an INLINE rule in shorewall6-rules[2](5).

           inline
               Causes the action body (defined in action.action-name) to be expanded in-line like
               a macro rather than in its own chain. You can list Shorewall Standard Actions in
               this file to specify the inline option.

                   Caution
                   Some of the Shorewall standard actions cannot be used in-line and will
                   generate a warning and the compiler will ignore inline if you try to use them
                   that way:
                       Broadcast
                       DropSmurfs
                       Invalid (Prior to Shorewall 4.5.13)
                       NotSyn (Prior to Shorewall 4.5.13)
                       RST (Prior to Shorewall 4.5.13)
                       TCPFlags

           noinline
               Causes any later inline option for the same action to be ignored with a warning.

           nolog
               Added in Shorewall 4.5.11. When this option is specified, the compiler does not
               automatically apply the log level and/or tag from the invocation of the action to
               all rules inside of the action. Rather, it simply sets the $_loglevel and $_logtag
               shell variables which can be used within the action body to apply those logging
               options only to a subset of the rules.
