My questions is about the flags displayed by AIDE for each file in daily email reports. For example for new files its shows as follows:
f++++++++++++++++: /var/cache/apt/archives/squashfs-tools_1%3a4.4-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb
I can deduce that f stands for file and I have seen d which stands for directory. But what other flags can possibly come here? What about the ++++++++++++++++, does it signify anything?
Now things are more interesting for modified files:
d =.... mc.. .. : /run/motd.d/fwupd
f =.... mci.... : /run/motd.d/fwupd/85-fwupd
f >b... mc..C.. .: /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
f <.... mc..C.. .: /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
f =.... .c..... .: /var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db
I could not find any documentation with details of what these means. Any help to understand this is much appreciated.
