    <title>Description</title>

    <para>This file allows you to define new ACTIONS for use in rules (see
    <ulink url="shorewall-rules.html">shorewall6-rules(5)</ulink>). You define
    the ip6tables rules to be performed in an ACTION in
    /etc/shorewall6/action.<emphasis>action-name</emphasis>.</para>

    <para>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>
