actions

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).

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.

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

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.

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).
