MinFileSize = "2kB"

ExcludeFromRelease = ()

NOTE: When configuring the ExcludeFromRelease variable, filenames and filename patterns must be specified in the UTF-8 format.

Special pattern-matching characters

The filename pattern-matching mechanism built into the FSE conforms to that used in command shells on UNIX systems, with a few differences. Special characters are permitted to simplify the definition of sets of files.

The following table lists the special characters, meanings, and usage examples.

Notes

•On case-insensitive file systems, like NTFS on Windows, if a character is covered by a filename pattern, then this character’s upper- or lower-case counterpart is also covered.

•All the filenames and filename patterns that contain space characters or commas, and all filename patterns that use sets ([ ]) or range sets ([ - ]) must be enclosed within double quotes (" ").

•A right bracket (]) can only be used inside sets and range sets if it is quoted (\]).

•A hyphen (—) can only be used inside sets and range sets if it is quoted (\—), or if it is the first character specified inside the set or range set ([—...), or if it is specified as a single-character range (---).

•Quote characters can only be matched if they are quoted. Linux specific

On Linux platform, to match a backslash (\), use two backlashes (\\). Windows specific

On Windows platform, to match a grave accent (`), use two grave accents (``).
