<h2>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Rules are defined in ini file format where the sections are file glob
patterns and the contents of each section are the preferences for files
matching that pattern(s). For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">*.</span><span class="n">bat</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">eol</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">native</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">*.</span><span class="n">html</span> <span class="o">*.</span><span class="n">xml</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">keywords</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">xml_escape</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Preferences like these are useful for commands and plugins wishing to
provide custom behaviour for selected files. For more information on
end of line conversion see <a class="reference internal" href="eol-help.html"><span class="doc">End of Line Conversion</span></a>.
Keyword support is provided by the <a class="reference external" href="http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/keywords-plugin.html">keywords plugin</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="files">
<h2>Files<a class="headerlink" href="#files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Default rules for all branches are defined in the optional file
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BZR_HOME/rules</span></code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="rule-patterns">
<h2>Rule Patterns<a class="headerlink" href="#rule-patterns" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Patterns are ordered and searching stops as soon as one matches.
As a consequence, more explicit patterns should be placed towards
the top of the file. Rule patterns use exactly the same conventions
as ignore patterns. See <a class="reference internal" href="patterns-help.html"><span class="doc">Patterns</span></a> for details.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Patterns containing square brackets or spaces should be
surrounded in quotes to ensure they are correctly parsed.</p>
