34.Ic permit Ns | Ns Ic deny
35.Op Ar options
36.Ar identity
37.Op Ic as Ar target
38.Op Ic cmd Ar command Op Ic args ...
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Rules consist of the following parts:
42.Bl -tag -width 11n
43.It Ic permit Ns | Ns Ic deny
44The action to be taken if this rule matches.

52again for some time.
53.It Ic keepenv

55The default is to reset the environment, except for the variables
56.Ev DISPLAY ,
57.Ev HOME ,
58.Ev LOGNAME ,
59.Ev MAIL ,
60.Ev PATH ,
61.Ev TERM ,
62.Ev USER
63and
64.Ev USERNAME .
65.It Ic setenv { Oo Ar variable ... Oc Oo Ar variable=value ... Oc Ic }
66In addition to the variables mentioned above, keep the space-separated
67specified variables.
68Variables may also be removed with a leading
69.Sq -
70or set using the latter syntax.
71If the first character of
72.Ar value
73is a
74.Ql $
75then the value to be set is taken from the existing environment
76variable of the same name.
77.El
78.It Ar identity

80Groups may be specified by prepending a colon
81.Pq Sq \&: .

85The default is all users.
86.It Ic cmd Ar command
87The command the user is allowed or denied to run.
88The default is all commands.
89Be advised that it is best to specify absolute paths.
90If a relative path is specified, only a restricted
91.Ev PATH
92will be searched.
93.It Ic args ...
94Arguments to command.
95The command arguments provided by the user need to match those specified.
96The keyword
97.Ic args
98alone means that command must be run without any arguments.
99.El
100.Pp
101The last matching rule determines the action taken.
102If no rule matches, the action is denied.
103.Pp
104Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
105.Pq Sq # ,
106and extend to the end of the current line.
107.Pp
108The following quoting rules apply:
109.Bl -dash
110.It
111The text between a pair of double quotes
112.Pq Sq \&"
113is taken as is.
114.It
115The backslash character
116.Pq Sq \e
117escapes the next character, including new line characters, outside comments;
118as a result, comments may not be extended over multiple lines.
119.It
120If quotes or backslashes are used in a word,
121it is not considered a keyword.
