This provides most of the rule handling needed to add a new rule to a VCAP. To add a rule a client must follow these steps: 1) Allocate a new rule (provide an id or get one automatically assigned) 2) Add keys to the rule 3) Add actions to the rule 4) Optionally set a keyset on the rule 5) Optionally set an actionset on the rule 6) Validate the rule (this will add keyset and actionset if not specified in the previous steps) 7) Add the rule (if the validation was successful) 8) Free the rule instance (a copy has been added to the VCAP) The validation step will fail if there are no keysets with the requested keys, or there are no actionsets with the requested actions. The validation will also fail if the keyset is not configured for the port for the requested protocol).

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.
