| 73 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 74 | The |
| 75 | .B .sw\-info |
| 76 | file contains blank lines, comment lines, and assignments. A blank line |
| 77 | contains only whitespace; a comment line has a |
| 78 | .RB ` # ' |
| 79 | as its first non-whitespace character: both are ignored. An assignment |
| 80 | has the form |
| 81 | .sp 1 |
| 82 | .in +5n |
| 83 | .I name |
| 84 | .RB [ = ] |
| 85 | .I value |
| 86 | .in -5in |
| 87 | .sp 1 |
| 88 | where |
| 89 | .I name |
| 90 | is one of the field names described below, and |
| 91 | .I value |
| 92 | is any text which doesn't contain newlines, semicolons or null bytes. |
| 93 | Any leading whitespace is stripped; trailing and internal space is |
| 94 | preserved. |

| 110 | .TP |
| 111 | .B only\-arch |
| 112 | The current architecture restriction. The architecture names are |
