.ott - FACE object architecture information
DESCRIPTION
The FACE object architecture stores information about object-types in
an ASCII file named .ott (object type table) that is contained in
each directory. This file describes all of the objects in that
directory. Each line of the .ott file contains information about one
object in pipe-separated fields. The fields are (in order):
name the name of the actual UNIX System file.
dname the name that should be displayed to the user, or a
dot if it is the same as the name of the file.
description the description of the object, or a dot if the
description is the default (the same as object-
type).
object-type the FACE internal object type name.
flags object specific flags.
mod time the time that FACE last modified the object. The
time is given as number of seconds since 1/1/1970,
and is in hexadecimal notation.
object information
an optional field, contains a set of semi-colon
separated name=value fields that can be used by
FACE to store any other information necessary to
describe this object.
FILES
