Rules are the actual objects that tie matchers, header values and actions. Each rule belongs to a matcher, which can hold multiple rules sharing the same mask. Each rule is a specific set of values and actions. When a packet reaches a matcher it is being matched against the matcher`s rules. In case of a match over a rule its actions will be executed. Each rule object contains a set of STEs, where each STE is a definition of match values and actions defined by the rule. This file handles the rule operations and processing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
