Rules for Setting Up File List

The file list item contains a list of accounts to be included or excluded from the scan. The following rules apply:

• If the file contains only exclusions, all other accounts are included.
• If there are any explicitly included accounts, all other accounts are implicitly excluded.
• If there are any implicitly included files within an included account, all other files in that account are implicitly excluded.
• If there is a mixture of included and excluded files, all other files in that account are implicitly included.
• The rules for formatting the List File are as follows:
• Whitespace lines are ignored.
• A line starting with a hash character (#) is ignored.
• An account followed by a minus sign will be excluded.
• A list of files may follow the account. If the account is excluded, the file list is ignored.
• Each file appears on a separate line following a plus or a minus sign, indicating inclusion or exclusion, respectively.
