+* _filter-name_: defines the name of the filter. This is a required field.
+  Note that the filter name will be present as a key of every ACE (i.e. rule) in
+  generated policy. For example if the filter-name is 'MyPolicy', each ACE will
+  come out like:
+
+  ```
+  {
+    'MyPolicy|RULE_10': {...},
+    'MyPolicy|RULE_20': {...},
+    ...
+  }
+  ```
