No, not XML. It uses something MUCH better. It uses this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
$ cat rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules |
| 27 |
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib64/udev/write_cd_rules |
| 28 |
# program, probably run by the cd-aliases-generator.rules rules file. |
| 29 |
# |
| 30 |
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line |
| 31 |
# and set the $GENERATED variable. |
| 32 |
|

See how fantastic this is? See how this conforms to The One True (Unix) Way? |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
See how it looks nothing like XML (invented by a Windows user, obviously), and |
| 52 |
actually looks a lot like perl with regexes? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
On second thoughts, it looks nothing like perl. There aren't enough $, @ and % |
| 55 |
symbols in it. But the regex bit stands. |
