[API Question] How to use per rule arguments for a new ips action plugin

[ozkankirik]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a simple ips_action plugin. I need to use arguments per rule for action.

newaction tcp any any -> any any ( msg: "new action test", newvar: "abc" )

Is it possible to access newvar variable within void NewAction::exec(Packet* p) function?
Or do you suggest another way to pass per rule arguments to action?

Thanks
