file contains information about one object in pipe separated
fields. The fields are (in order):
name the name of the actual UNIX System file.
dname the name that should be displayed to the user,
or a dot if it is the same as the name of the
file.
description the description of the object, or a dot if the
description is the default (the same as
object-type).
object-type the FACE internal object type name.
flags object specific flags.
mod time the time that FACE last modified the object.
The time is given as number of seconds since
1/1/1970, and is in hexadecimal notation.
object information
an optional field, contains a set of semi-
colon separated "name=value" fields that can
be used by FACE to store any other information
necessary to describe this object.
FILES
