The man page for apparmor.d mentions the "AARE" element in a lot of places, 
such as for specifying peers. Unfortunately, the man page (or its source 
parser/apparmor.d.pod) only says "AARE have special meanings; see below. May 
include VARIABLE". Further down, there is a terse "definition" in form of 
"?*[]{}" which I simply do not understand.

Disclaimer: I've even found and read the documents in 
apparmor/documentation/*.odt, but might very well missed a crucial hint about 
AARE there.

I can imagine that "AARE" means "AppArmor reg exp" and also found 
utils/apparmor/aare.py. Unfortunately, I'm still not clear from reading the 
Python source of aare.py about what AAREs really are and how they might differ 
from regular expressions (which ones) and if they include globbing or not?

Can you please help out and explain what AAREs are from a user's perspective?

Thank you very much!

Harald
