A couple of config(1) questions
The man page for config(9) says the syntax for including source files is
file pathname [attributes [flags]] [rule]
It doesn't actually describe the syntax for [rule] but examples seem to
indicate that we can do at least rudimentary boolean expressions, ie
x & y
x | y | z
x & !w
Just how complex can these expressions be? For example, can I use
(a | b) & (x | y | z)
with parentheses?
Question 2: does config(1) support '\' at the end of a physical line to
indicate line continuation? (If the complex boolean expression above is
supported, I'm likely to have a longer-than-80-char command!)
TIA
