Security File Format

The syntax of the security policy file is as follows. Notation: "*" means zero or more occurrences of the

preceding element, and "+" means one or more occurrences. To interpret xxx/yyy, ignore the text after

the /; it is used to distinguish between instances of xxx in the next section.

<policy file> ::= <version line> <other line> *

<version line> ::= <string/v> 'n'

<other line> ::= <comment> | <access rule> | <site policy> |

<comment > ::= # <not newline>* 'n'

<blank line> ::= <space> 'n'

<site policy > ::= <sitepolicy string/sp> 'n'

<access rule> ::= property <property/ar> <window perms> 'n'

<perms> ::= [ <operation> | <action> | <space> ]*

<operation> ::= r | w | d

<action> ::= a | i | e

<string> ::= <dbl quoted string> | <single quoted string> |

<space> ::= [ ' ' | 't' ]*

Character sets:

<not newline> ::= any character except 'n'

<not dqoute> ::= any character except "

<not squote> ::= any character except '

<not space> ::= any character except those in <space>

The semantics associated with the above syntax are as follows.

<version line>, the first line in the file, specifies the file format version. If the server does not recognize

the version <string/v>, it ignores the rest of the file. The version string for the file format described here

is "version-1".

Once past the <version line>, lines that do not match the above syntax are ignored.

<comment lines> are ignored.
