}

where the entries mean:

name Name of faceSet word yes -
type Type name: faceSet word yes -
action Action applied on faces - see below word yes -
source Source name: searchableSurfaceToFace word yes -
surfaceType The searchable surface type word yes -
surfaceName Name for the IOobject word no mesh-name
