Isso está detalhado na página de manual aide.conf , reproduzida aqui para ser completa e é uma atributo configurável dos relatórios gerados:
summarize_changesWhether to summarize changes in the added, removed and changed files sections of the report or not. Valid values are yes,true,no and false. The default is not to summarize the changes.
The general format is like the string YlZbpugamcinCAXS, where Y is replaced by the file-type (f for a regular file, d for a directory, L for a symbolic link, D for a character device, B for a block device, F for a FIFO, s for a unix socket and ? otherwise).
The Z is replaced as follows: A = means that the size has not changed, a < reports a shrinked size and a > reports a grown size.
The other letters in the string are the actual letters that will be output if the associated attribute for the item has been changed or a "." for no change, a "+" if the attribute has been added, a "-" if it has been removed, a ":" if the attribute is listed in ignore_list or a " " if the attribute has not been checked. The exceptions to this are: (1) a newly created file replaces each letter with a "+", and (2) a removed file replaces each letter with a "-".
The attribute that is associated with each letter is as follows:
- A
lmeans that the link name has changed.- A
bmeans that the block count has changed.- A
pmeans that the permissions have changed.- An
umeans that the uid has changed.- A
gmeans that the gid has changed.- An
