Jukebox permission (.prm) files

The permission files specified as field 3 in the configuration file specify the permissions various users have on various jukebox locations and operations. The permission file is a flat ASCII file, with one entry per line. Each entry has several fields as follows:

  1. file name -- permissions on this file (readable, executable) are our permssions for these items readable means we can see the name of the media in the location, executable means we can move media in and out of that location.
  2. SLOT, DRIVE, PORT, ONLINE, or INIT -- says what sort of thing this line is setting permission for, INIT means we can initialize that database.
  3. Low number of range of items
  4. (Optional) High number of range of items, Low..High inclusive are given permssions matching our first fields in the filesystem
Field separators are spaces, tabs, and dashes.
