Functions that perform an action on a certain system object.

Action functions are declared by modules by implementing hook_action_info(). Modules can run action functions to run by calling action_execute().

Each action function takes two arguments:

  • $entity: The object that the action acts on, such as a node, comment, or user.
  • $context: An array of information passed by reference that includes information about the current action execution, including the following keys:

    • action_name: The name of the action being executed.
    • action_info: The definition of the action being executed, as provided by hook_action_info().
    • redirect: A path to which the user should be redirected after the action is complete. This can be used to direct the user to a configuration form to configure the action or ask for confirmation.
