Thx for the PR, however there are some changes in the documentation that were deliberate TBD e.g. what to do with DIRECTORY definition type #286 This might take a bit, but I'll have a look what parts of the PR can be merged |

The Knowledge Base is a GRR implementation detail, not part of the specification. One could use runtime environment variables to expands paths.

I used it as an easy way to describe provides and parameter expansion. If that should not be part of the spec those parts have to be defined on another way.

I've merged some of the changes ff2ea0c However some of the proposed changes require a closer look what should and what should not be adopted from the initial implementation in GRR. |

Thanks. I needed a more complete spec and I hope the empty spaces will be filled soon. |
Note that this can take some time, due to numerous factors, and things will change over time. I'll try to capture them as much as possible in issues. At the moment we're working on a plaso implementation to surface GRR specific implementation details (assumptions), some which might be tricky to resolve. |
