sel_config File Sections

The rules in the sel_config file apply to cut and paste, copy and paste, and drag and drop of files between file managers. (See dtfile(1) and the Trusted Solaris User's Guide for more about the File Manager application.) The rules in the sel_config file also apply to cut and paste and copy and paste between windows. Drag and drop between windows is mediated by the /usr/dt/bin/sel_mgr application, not by sel_config.

The sel_config file has two sections described below:

• Automatic confirmation

• Automatic reply

Automatic Confirmation Section

The format of each line in the automatic confirmation section of the sel_config file is shown in the following table. label-relation refers to the relationship between the label of the source and the label of the destination, and the value n means to display the selection confirmer to the user.

Automatic Reply Section

The autoreply field defines the type of reply for all the named types of selections that follow it. This section provides a way to reply automatically to several types of selections at once instead of having to respond to each individually. See the sel_config(4) man page for more information.
