NAME
     ott - FACE object architecture information

DESCRIPTION
     The  FACE  object  architecture  stores  information   about
     object-types in an ASCI file named .ott (object type table)
     that is contained in each directory. This file describes all
     of the objects in that directory. Each line of the .ott file
     contains information  about  one  object  in  pipe-separated
     fields. The fields are (in order):

     name                  the name of the actual system file.


     dname                 the name that should be  displayed  to
                           the  user,  or a dot if it is the same
                           as the name of the file.


     description           the description of the  object,  or  a
                           dot  if the description is the default
                           (the same as object-type).


     object-type           the FACE internal object type name.


     flags                 object specific flags.


     mod time              the time that FACE last  modified  the
                           object. The time is given as number of
                           seconds since 1/1/1970, and is in hex-
                           adecimal notation.


     object information    an optional field, contains a  set  of
                           semi-colon separated name=value fields
                           that can be used by FACE to store  any
                           other    information    necessary   to
                           describe this object.
