+  `DEFAULT.`              Stop executing actions and rules on this stanza, prevent any other scripts/modules from handling it, to trigger the appropriate default "unhandled stanza" behaviour. Do not use in custom chains (it is treated as PASS).
   `REDIRECT=jid`          Redirect the stanza to the given JID.
   `REPLY=text`            Reply to the stanza (assumed to be a message) with the given text.
   `BOUNCE.`               Bounce the stanza with the default error (usually service-unavailable)

   `JUMP CHAIN=name`        Switches chains, and passes the stanza through the rules in chain 'name'. If the new chain causes the stanza to be dropped/redirected, the current chain halts further processing.
+  `RETURN.`                Stops executing the current chain and returns to the parent chain. For built-in chains, equivalent to PASS. RETURN is implicit at the end of every chain.
 
 It is possible to jump to chains defined by other scripts and modules.
