<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>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 options 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 warning and the compiler will
ignore <option>inline</option> if you try to use them that
way:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>Broadcast</member>
<member>DropSmurfs</member>
<member>Invalid</member>
<member>NotSyn</member>
<member>RST</member>
<member>TCPFlags</member>
</simplelist>
</caution>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>noinline</term>
<listitem>
<para>Causes any later <option>inline</option> option for the
same action to be ignored with a warning.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>nolog</term>
<listitem>
<para>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.</para>
