+ FLAGS
+ -----
+
+Flags are, syntactically, just like actions; their semantical value is different however.
+Instead of doing something, they instead change the general behavior of the processing
+of the given rule.
+
+Note that for flags to work, you also have to invoke it with --override.
+
+Currently, only one flag is implemented:
+
+ * nothrottle
+ 	Forcibly overrides hotplug2 throttling mechanism. If _all_ rules that match
+	the given kernel event have 'nothrottle' set, hotplug2 will not wait for
+	children count to get under max-children limit. That allows to throttle
+	eg. helper application execution or modprobes, but yet keep node devices
+	fast.
