Whats the difference between a “filter” and a “project rule”?

0

A filter is used to exclude files or directories from a scan. These might include system directories, mount points, or other parts of a file system containing undesirable files. A project rule is used to determine if any given file matches any of the identifying criteria specified for an open source software package. If an open source package’s project rule matches a file, that package has been installed.
