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[1](5).

               Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, the Netfilter table(s) in which the builtin can be used may be
               specified: filter, nat, mangle and raw. If no table name(s) are given, then filter is assumed.
               The table names follow builtin and are separated by commas; for example, "FOOBAR
               builtin,filter,mangle" would specify FOOBAR as a builtin target that can be used in the filter
               and mangle tables.

               Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.4, you may specify the terminating option with builtin to indicate
               to the Shorewall optimizer that the action is terminating (the current packet will not be passed
               to the next rule in the chain).

           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.

           terminating
               Added in Shorewall 4.6.4. When used with builtin, indicates that the built-in action is
               termiating (i.e., if the action is jumped to, the next rule in the chain is not evaluated).
