NAME

	aerptidx - aegis report index file format

SYNOPSIS

	/usr/share/aegis/report.index
	/usr/share/aegis/report.local

DESCRIPTION

	The report index file is used to store pointers to report scripts, and descriptions of the reports.

	When searching for a report, the aer(1) command searches down the AEGIS_PATH looking for report.index files, and searching them for the
	report named.

CONTENTS

	where = [{ ... }];
		This field is a table relating report name to file name.  The structure is as follows:

		name = string;
			The name of a report.  The command line argument naming scheme is used, to provide abbreviatable names.

		description = string;
			A brief description of the report.  It should not be very long, one or two lines at most.

		filename = string;
			The name of the file containing the report script.  If a relative path is given, it will be interpreted to be relative to
			the directory containing the report.index file.
