# Rigid format of this file; tab-separated tuples to define
# error messages and explanations.
# Yes, tab isn't a great separator; alternatives that aren't
# regex chars would be gratefully heard
# format as follows:
error_id	message	explanation

file_order	Order of rc file incorrect	Order of the rc file should be shebang/rcorder/sourcing rc_subr/name/rcvar/load_rc_config/setting defaults/setting other definitions/defining functions.  Do not include unassociated shell commands, and blocks must be separated by single blank lines.  Single blank lines may appear inside the defaults, definitions and functions blocks

functions_chown	Useless use of chown?	Using chown in functions can nearly always be replaced with appropriate use of install(1)
functions_indent	Unindented function contents	Style dictates that indentation of rc scripts should be tabs.  Ensure that function contents are indented
functions_inline_brace	Inline brace in function	Put the opening brace for a function ({) on its own line
functions_neverending	Unclosed function block	Functions must end with a closing brace on its own line
functions_problem	Function incorrectly defined	Functions should not have spaces in the definition
functions_short	One-line functions discouraged; put command directly in variable	It is wasteful to write a function just for one command.  It is possible to put commands directly inside declarations; name_prestart="install -d -o $name_user /var/run/$name" for example

name_mismatch	Mismatched filename/PROVIDE/$name	Convention dictates that the filename, PROVIDE line and $name should be the same value
name_unset	Missing name assignment	RC scripts should have a name line

orphaned_line	Orphaned line	Do not put unassociated shell commands inside rc scripts; put them inside functions.  Normally they can go inside a start_precmd function

rcorder_keyword_freebsd	Do not include FreeBSD in the KEYWORD rcorder line	Historically FreeBSD scripts were marked in the KEYWORD section.  This is no longer necessary
rcorder_keyword_shutdown	Persistent service?  Needs shutdown KEYWORD	Missing shutdown KEYWORD; if the script starts a service that is persistent, it should have KEYWORD: shutdown in rcorder block
rcorder_order	rcorder block in the wrong order; should be PROVIDE/REQUIRE/BEFORE/KEYWORD	See the article on RC scripting

no_description	No description included	All rc files should include a variable desc="Description of the service"

rcvar_incorrect	rcvar is not set correctly	rcvar must be directly set to name_enable.  Do not quote, and do not use indirection; ${name}_enable is slower than example_enable.  `set_rcvar` was removed from FreeBSD in January 2012, so definitely do not use that

run_rc_argument	Incorrect argument to run_rc_command	The last line of the file should be run_rc_command $1

shebang	Incorrect shebang used	All rc scripts must start with the correct shebang; #!/bin/sh

variables_defaults_mandatory_colon	Override blanks in mandatory values (:=/:- vs =/-)	Values that must not be blank (such as _enable) should be set by default as ${var:=value}; thus disallowing blank values (man sh)
variables_defaults_non_mandatory_colon	Do not clobber blank values for non-mandatory variables	Syntax for variables that are not mandatory is ${var=value}; including := will override var="" set in rc.conf (man sh).  If this variable is mandatory just for this script, then ignore this error
variables_defaults_old_style	Prefer condensed version for setting default values of variables	When setting the default value for a variable, it is much less verbose and clearer to use the : ${variable=var} notation, as well as it being obvious that the source and destination variable are the same
variables_order	Order of variables incorrect	Order of the variables should be setting defaults then setting other variables

value_empty	Empty variable assignment	There is almost never a need to assign an empty value to a variable; sh does not require initialisation.  This line can almost certainly be removed

run_rc_followed	run_rc_command line is not the last line in the file	Do not write anything after the run_rc_command line
run_rc_quoted	Quoted argument to run_rc_command	No need to quote the argument to run_rc_command
