    <title>Description</title>

    <para>This file allows you to define new ACTIONS for use in rules (see
    <ulink url="shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules(5)</ulink>). You define
    the iptables rules to be performed in an ACTION in
    /etc/shorewall/action.<emphasis>action-name</emphasis>.</para>

    <para>Columns are:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term>NAME</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>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.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>OPTIONS</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.10. Available actions are:</para>

          <variablelist>
            <varlistentry>
              <term>inline</term>

              <listitem>
                <para>Causes the action body (defined in
                action.<replaceable>action-name</replaceable>) 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
                <option>inline</option> option.</para>

                <caution>
                  <para>Some of the Shorewall standard actions cannot be used
                  in-line and will generate a compiler error if you try to use
                  them that way:</para>
