ACHECK-RULES.5(5) User Contributed Perl Documentation ACHECK-RULES.5(5)
NAME
set.rules - Rules set for acheck
DESCRIPTION
Rules set files contain rules to be check by acheck.
Lines beginning with a number sign (`#') and empty lines will be ignored. Spaces at the beginning and the end of a line will also be
ignored as well as tabulators. If you need spaces at the end or the beginning of a value you can use apostrophes (`"'). A comment starts
with the number sign, there can be any number of spaces and/or tab stops in front of the #. Long lines can be broken into multiple lines
ending with a backslash (`'). Some possible examples:
# this line is ignored
field value
field value # this is a comment
field "value ending with space "
field value
continuing on the next line
You have to escape number signs with a backslash to use it in a value and use apostrophes if a value ends with a backslash.
Rule sets are made of lists of rules. Theses lists can be repeated a number of times, until or while a condition happens.
A rule detects an error if the corresponding test succeeds and none of its validation tests does. Each rule can then produce some fixes, a
warning or an error, and provide hints to help the operator to correct the error.
Parts of the text can be set as comments and so no rule and no spell check will be performed on them.
RULE FILE SYNTAX
SYNTAX RULES
list
A list starts at a `list' statement, and stops at the first `end_list' or at the end of the file.
Mandatory fields:
type type
until, perform the list until the current line matches `test'
while, perform the lint while the current line matches `test'
loop, perform the list `test' times
test regex / number
A regex for `until' and `while' lists. The number of times the list must be performed for `loop', or `0' for infinite loop.
Optional fields:
name name
Use this to give the list a name.
spell yes / no
Set it to `yes' (default) or `no', if you want or don't want spelling to be checked in the lines matching this list. This value will be
inherited by the nested lists.

list [name]
rule [name]
comment [name]
Followed by the name of the sub-rule or its definition for an anonymous sub-rule.

fix expr
Provides a correction for the rule, this field can be repeated to provides more than one choice. Only the first one will be used for
`autofix' rules. `warning' and `error' do not provides fixes. The captured patterns can be used here with variables `$1', `$2', and so
on.

Optional fields:
name name
Use this to give the rule a name.
valid [name]
Provides a validation test, it can be named or anonymous. For anonymous validation, the test definition must follow. This field can be
repeated more than once, if any of the validation test succeed, the rule does not apply.
valid
A validation test starts at a `valid' statement, and stops at the first `end_valid' or at the beginning of a rule, a comment, a list or
another validation test.
Mandatory field:

Optional field:
name name
Use this to give the validation test a name.
comment
A comment starts at a `comment' statement, and stops at the first `end_comment' or at the beginning of a rule, a comment or a list.

starts, `e' for the place the match ends, or `e-<n>' for n characters before the match ends. Defaults are `s' for `start' matches and
`e' for `stop' matches.
