Non-Executable Program Statements

A non-executable program statement helps organize security policy files. Because non-executable program statements have a special meaning to the Security Policy Scripting Language interpreter, they are not used for any other purpose. For instance, using a non-executable program statement as a variable name generates an error.

The non-executable program statement consists of the Comment statement.

Comment statements must begin with the # character and continue to the end of the current line. No end character is necessary. This type of comment statement may not span multiple lines.
