where num is a decimal or (0-preceded) octal number. Boolean capabilities have the format:
id

id@
where the first form signals the presence of the capability and the second form signals the absence of the
capability. String capabilities have the format:
id=string
where string is 0 or more characters. The
\ and : characters are escaped as \\ and \: respectively.
File Locking
All databases use a lock file, the existence of which means that the file is currently being rewritten. Occa-
sionally, the lock files remain after a system crash and must be removed manually. The lock file is
formed by appending
-t to the database file name.
Fields/Flags
All databases are converted into structures by programs. The data structures consist of two substruc-
tures, each of which has one member for each field in the database entry. The field structure contains a
field value (for example, a number, a boolean flag, a directory string, or a mask), while the flag value (one
bit) indicates the presence or absence of the field in that entry.
