NAME
.ott - FACE object architecture information
DESCRIPTION
The FACE object architecture stores information about
object-types in an ASCII file named .ott (object type table)
that is contained in each directory. This file describes
all of the objects in that directory. Each line of the .ott
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 hexade-
cimal 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
.ott is created in any directory opened by FACE.
