29Exception lists for the findunref tool
30
31Files in these lists are by definition intentionally never used during a
32standard nightly build.
33
34Most files in this category should be matched by the existing filename globs, so
35if you find yourself adding exceptions, please check with your advocate and/or
36the gatekeepers to be sure you're doing the right thing.
37
38The actual exception_list file used during a nightly build is generated during
39the build (see usr/src/tools/findunref/Makefile for details), based on various
40input files as follows:
41
42	Filename globs, applicable regardless of location in the source tree,
43	and regardless of SCM:
44
45		exception_list.common
46
47	Filename globs and specific files to ignore, based on the SCM in use:
48
49		exception_list.teamware
50		exception_list.mercurial
51
52	Specific files to ignore, divided by location in the source tree:
53
54		exception_list.open
55		exception_list.closed
