| can be either a simple filename or a relative or absolute path name. |
| For a simple filename, directories are searched in this order: (1) the |
| current directory, (2) the personal rules directory ~/caliper_advisor, |
| and (3) the rules subdirectory in the HP Caliper home directory. |
| For a relative or absolute path name, no searching is done. |
database_list is a set of one or more HP Caliper databases to analyze. If the databases are specified by name (with or without a path), they are looked for at those locations. If they are specified only by name, they are looked for in these locations, in this order: (1) current directory, then (2) databases directory. If no databases are specified by name, all the databases in the databases directory are analyzed.
