NAME

       note - specify legal annotations

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/note

DESCRIPTION

       Each  file  in  this  directory	contains  the NOTE (also _NOTE) annotations legal for a single tool.  The name of the file, by convention,
       should be the tool vendor's stock name, followed by a hyphen, followed by the tool name. For example, for Sun's lock_lint tool the filename
       should be SUNW-lock_lint.

       The  file should contain the names of the annotations understood by the tool, one per line.  For example, if a tool understands the follow-
       ing annotations:

	 NOTE(NOT_REACHED)
	 NOTE(MUTEX_PROTECTS_DATA(list_lock, list_head))

       then its file in /usr/lib/note should contain the entries:

	 NOT_REACHED
	 MUTEX_PROTECTS_DATA

       Blank lines, and lines beginning with a pound (#), are ignored.

       While /usr/lib/note is the default directory tools search for such files, they can be made to search other directories  instead	simply	by
       setting	 environment   variable   NOTEPATH   to   contain   the  paths,  separated  by	colons,  of  directories  to  be  searched,  e.g.,
       /usr/mytool/note:/usr/lib/note.

USAGE

       These files are used by such tools whenever they encounter NOTEs they do not understand.  If a file in /usr/lib/note contains  the  annota-
       tion, then it is valid. If no such file contains the annotation, then the tool should issue a warning complaining that it might be invalid.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       NOTEPATH    specify paths to be searched for annotation files. Paths are separated by colons (":").
