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 new-line character. 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 number
sign (#). 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 low line (_) character, or the minus sign
(-), and must start with an alphabetic 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 letter)
AllHosts (must begin with letter)
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 low line (_) character, or the minus sign
(-), and must start with an alphabetic 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
(or - if no abbreviation is given) separates the
abbreviation from the alias definition. The remainder of
the entry (until a new-line 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
