Rewrite is the GNU Radius extension language. Its name reflects the fact that it was originally designed to rewrite broken request packets so they could be processed as usual (see Rewriting Incoming Requests). Beside this basic use, however, Rewrite functions are used to control various aspects of GNU Radius functionality, such as verifying the activity of user sessions, controlling the amount of information displayed in log messages, etc (see Interaction with Radius).
