Featureless Linux Library Specification

FSS-0001 (Extended)

The version date of this specification is 2024/01/15.

Each Object starts at the beginning of a line and white space to the left of the Object is not treated as an object. White space separates an Object from the Content. An Object may be followed by a newline, in which case means that the Object has no Content. If only printing white spaces or non-printable characters follow a valid Object, then that Object is considered to have no Content. An Object may be quoted to include whitespace where a single quote ' (U+0027), a double quote " (U+0022), or a grave ` (U+0060) are used to quote.

Content exists on the same line as the Object. Content is represented as multiple Content columns. Content columns are white space separated parts within the Content and terminated by a newline. Any number of Content columns may exist in the Content until the newline is reached.

Key:

  • \s = White space, except newline.
  • \b = Either white space or printable, except newline.
  • \q = Non-white space or quoted white space (and non-whitespace) with no white space outside of the quotes.
  • \n = Newline.
  • * = Zero or more occurrences.
  • + = One or more occurrences.
  • ()* = Grouping that repeats zero or more times.

Before Structure:

Structure:

  • \s*\q+\s+(\s*\q+)*\s*\n

After Structure:

Example:

# fss-0001
# valid comments are ignored.
"The Object" Content "content 2" content_3.
Second object set.

Example Results:

Objects would be:
  1) The Object
  2) Second

Contents would be:
  1.1) Content
  1.2) content 2
  1.3) content_3.

  2.1) object
  2.2) set.
