SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

FILEFORMAT

The fileformat is OPTION=VALUE

Between the OPTION, the = and the VALUE are no spaces.

You should not comment out any OPTION If you like to use default settings simply do not specify a VALUE.

OPTIONS

OSID_DAT_FORMAT

Format of the osid.dat file.

The SFI format as known from from the SFI Director in the years 1996-2008 is: OS:release:OSID:Comment

The extended WA2L format starting from 2008 is: OS:release:machine:OSID:Comment

See osid.dat(4) for more information.

Default is the SFI format. The SFI format also applies when the osid.cfg file does not exist.

Example: OSID_DAT_FORMAT=WA2L

Default: OSID_DAT_FORMAT=SFI

OSID_DAT_FILE

Name of the osid.dat file in the edrc/etc directory.

The default if the specified file does not exist or if the osid.cfg file does not exist is osid.dat.

Example: OSID_DAT_FILE=osid.dat.wa2l

Default: OSID_DAT_FILE=osid.dat

PROBE_BINARY

With this setting the probing of binaries for the resolved OSID can be turned off. Currently I cannot imagine a reason why to set this option to False, but you never know.

Example: PROBE_BINARY=False

Default: PROBE_BINARY=True

DISABLE_REGEX

If the OSID_DAT_FORMAT is set to WA2L, the first three fields in the specified OSID_DAT_FILE (<OS>:<release>:<machine>:) are treated as regular expressions. To disable this feature, set DISABLE_REGEX to True.

Example: DISABLE_REGEX=True

Default: DISABLE_REGEX=False
