+# This is an example for a pattern file as used by gpg-check-pattern.
+# The file is line based with comment lines beginning on the *first*
+# position with a '#'.  Empty lines and lines with just spaces are
+# ignored.  The other lines may be verbatim patterns and match as they
+# are (trailing spaces are ignored) or extended regular expressions
+# indicated by a / in the first column and terminated by another / or
+# end of line.  All comparisons are case insensitive.

+# Reject the usual metavariables.  Usual not required because
+# gpg-agent can be used to reject all passphrases shorter than 8
+# charactes.
