#
# This is an optional exclusions list file for use with the script 'backup'.
# The list must be in the format of a 'sed' RE (regular expression) since it
# is 'sed' that is used to process it.
#
# 'backup' expects this file to be in the directory as defined by
# the shell variable BEX within 'backup' ( /usr/local/backups by default).
#
# The '#' marks are used as sed delimiters instead of the usual '/' to avoid
# the need for escaping directory and file path slashes.
#
# Note that each RE line needs to have its opening '#' delimiter escaped
# (as in '\#').  I have no idea why this is (my battles with 'sed' always
# leave me confused and irritated).
#
# Any paths which start from root should have a caret preceding the path name
# to indicate that they are absolute and root-based or you may get exclusions
# from deeper down the tree that you didn't expect.  For example,
# the RE \#^/cdrom/#d says to exclude /cdrom but not (eg) /usr/local/cdrom.
# So always use a leading '^' where a path is absolute and root-based.
