The bruxpat File
# This file is used by the -X option to provide
# an inclusion/exclusion list. For each
# pathname of a file selected for backup,
# each line of this file is examined for a
# pattern and that pattern is applied to the
# pathname. If the pattern matches, the
# appropriate action is taken (the pathname
# is accepted or rejected). If the pathname
# makes it through all the patterns, it is
# accepted.
#
# Each command line in the bruxpat file (the
# file you are now reading) consists of a
# control field and a pattern. The
# pattern is separated from the control
# field by whitespace. Control field
# characters are:
#
# i Include this pathname if pattern
# matches. The pathname is accepted and
# no further patterns are applied.
#
# *** NOTE ***
# bru stops trying on the first pattern
# match found and passes the filename.
# Since it scans patterns in the order
# listed, include patterns should
# usually be listed before any exclude
# patterns.
#
# x Exclude this pathname if pattern
# matches. The pathname is rejected
# and no further patterns are applied.
#
# s The pattern is a shell-style wildcard
# pattern except that ‘/’ characters are
# not treated as special characters.
#
# r The pattern is a regular expression
# (the same as used by the “grep” command).
#
# l The pattern is a literal string.
#
#
# Include the C runtime startup file but
# exclude all other object files.
