14Comments start with a # and extend to the end of the line.

16Blank lines or lines with only a comment are ignored.

18All other lines consist of three fields delimited by
19whitespace: a login device (/dev/ttyv0), an octal
20permission number (0600), and a ":"-delimited list of
21devices (/dev/console). All device names are
22absolute paths. A path that ends in "/*" refers to all
23directory entries except "." and "..".

26name (absolute path), the permissions of the devices in the

28field, and their ownership is changed to that of the uid
29and gid arguments.
