Description

The simple filter is typically used as a building block for other filters. It provides a simple way of specifying the before (pre), per-line (exec) and after (post) actions.

Note: As creating new filters is not something that the average SDF users does, this filter is really provided to make life easier for advanced SDF users and SDF administrators.
