AddDescription directive


Purpose

Tells httpd how to describe a file or a file type while generating a directory index.


Syntax

AddDescription "blah blah blah" fileid
or
AddDescription `blah blah blah` fileid

fileid is either a filename extension (like .htm), a filename, or a full real pathname to a file on your system. blah blah blah must be surrounded by quotes or backtics (accent grave character) and is a short (preferably < 1 line) description of the file.

The backtic form is provided so that you can put HTML links into the description (the link has embedded double quotes).

You may use as many AddDescription directives as you wish.


Default

There are no default descriptions.


Example

AddDescription fargle.bargle `a great batch of nonsense`

A portion of httpd's index for fargle.bargle's directory would look something like this:

foople.poople (8000 bytes)
fargle.bargle : a great batch of nonsense (10000 bytes)
