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.
