NAME
loctimealiasdefs - loctime alias definitions
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/tcb/aa/config/loctimealiasdefs contains definitions
for location, time set, and loctime aliases.
The loctimealiasdefs file has separate sections for location, time
set, and loctime aliases although the aliases can be defined in any
order as long as an alias is defined before it is used.
Aliases are composed of entries that are position dependent and have
the following format:
name abbrev definition
Fields are separated by spaces or tabs and each entry is delimited by
a newline. Up to 6000 characters per entry are permitted. All names
and abbreviations are case insensitive. Comment lines may be
included by beginning the line with a #. There are no limits (other
than maximum entry size) imposed on the number of entries in the
loctimealiasdefs file. The entry fields are:
name This is the full name of the alias. The name must be 1-200
characters in length, contain only alphanumeric characters,
the underscore (_) character, or the hyphen (-) chararcter,
and must start with an alpha character (A-Z,a-z).
Examples of valid alias names are
TRUSTED-HOSTS
AllHosts
Tset1234
Examples of invalid alias names are
123Hosts (must begin with alpha)
AllHosts (must begin with alpha)
abbrev This is a short name (abbreviation) for the alias.
Abbreviations can be up to 200 characters in length, but it
is recommended that they be kept to 8 characters or less.
The abbreviation may contain only alphanumeric characters,
the underscore (_) character, or the hyphen (-) character,
and must start with an alpha character (A-Z,a-z). A single
- in this field indicates that no abbreviation is defined
for this alias.
definition
The definition of the alias. A space or tab character
separates the abbreviation (or - if no abbreviation is
given) from the alias definition. The remainder of the
entry (until a newline character) is considered a part of

the definition. The definition syntax varies for each alias
type (location, time set, or loctime). Alias definitions
can contain other aliases as long as the aliases in the
definition are previously defined, either in this file or in
loctimenamedefs(4M).
Time set alias definitions begin with a colon (:) followed by a list
of one or more time set names or abbreviations from the
loctimenamedefs file or previously defined in this file, separated
by commas. If more than one time set is specified, the list must be
enclosed in parentheses. The following examples are valid time set
alias definitions:
:(WEEKDAYS, WEEKENDS)
:(daytime, weekday, weekend)
Location alias definitions consist of a list of one or more location
names or abbreviations from the loctimenamedefs file or previously
defined in this file, separated by commas. If more than one location
is specified, the list must be enclosed in parentheses. The
following examples are valid location alias definitions:
LOCAL
(console, display, localhost)
Loctime alias definitions consist of a list of one or more location
names or abbreviations (with syntax as defined for location aliases
above) followed by one or more time sets (with syntax as defined for
time set aliases above). Note that with this syntax, a colon (:)
separates the location(s) from the time set(s). Loctime aliases can
also be defined by combining two or more complete loctimes with a
plus (+) operator. (A complete loctime alias has both locations and
time sets.) The + operator "adds" two loctimes; the resulting
loctime will have location/time set combinations from both loctimes.
The following examples are valid loctime alias definitions, where
DEFAULT is a loctime alias previously defined in loctimealiasdefs:
local:ANY
(console, display):weekday
DEFAULT + localhost:any
See the Trusted Facility Manual for more information on creating
loctime alias definitions.
