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> |
<blank line>
<comment > ::= # <not newline>* 'n'
<blank line> ::= <space> 'n'
<site policy > ::= <sitepolicy string/sp> 'n'
<access rule> ::= property <property/ar> <window perms> 'n'
<property> ::= <string>
<window> ::= any | <root> | <required property>
<required property> ::= <property/rp> | <property with value>
<property with value> ::= <property/rpv> = <string/rv>
<perms> ::= [ <operation> | <action> | <space> ]*
<operation> ::= r | w | d
<action> ::= a | i | e
<string> ::= <dbl quoted string> | <single quoted string> |
<unquoted string>
<dbl quoted string> ::= <space> " <not dqoute>* " <space>
<single quoted string> ::= <space> ' <not squote>* ' <space>
<unquoted string> ::= <space> <not space>+ <space>
<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.
