NAME

        aerptidx - aegis report index file format

SYNOPSIS

        /usr/share/aegis/report.index
        /usr/share/aegis/report.local

DESCRIPTION

        The report index file is used to store pointers to report scripts, and descriptions of the reports.

        When  searching  for  a report, the aer(1) command searches down the AEGIS_PATH looking for report.index
        files, and searching them for the report named.

CONTENTS

        where = [{ ... }];
                This field is a table relating report name to file name.  The structure is as follows:

                name = string;
                        The name of a report.  The command line argument  naming  scheme  is  used,  to  provide
                        abbreviatable names.

                description = string;
                        A  brief  description  of  the  report.  It should not be very long, one or two lines at
                        most.

                filename = string;
                        The name of the file containing the report script.  If a relative path is given, it will
                        be interpreted to be relative to the directory containing the report.index file.
