|
IncludeFileNames.item_#
|
Name of the executable file that triggers the rule.
You can use masks to specify the file name.
You can use the * (asterisk) character to create a file or directory name mask.
You can indicate a single * character to represent any set of characters (including an empty set) preceding the / character in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/*/file or /dir/*/*/file.
You can indicate two consecutive * characters to represent any set of characters (including an empty set and the / character) in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/**/file*/ or /dir/file**/.
The ** mask can be used only once in a directory name. For example, /dir/**/**/file is an incorrect mask.
To exclude the mount point /dir, you need to specifically indicate /dir (no asterisk).
The mask /dir/* excludes all mount points at the level below /dir but not /dir itself. The /dir/** mask excludes all mount points below the level of /dir but not /dir itself.
