Hello Mr. Steve,

  This is the patch, can you apply it?
  If there are some deficiencies, please give me your indication.

Now options '-a', '-A', '-d' can be used simultaneously in a rule,
but just the last one of them is effective. This usage will make
users confused.
So it had better not allow these options be used simultaneously,
otherwise an error message will be reported.
