Abstract
Documentation:
The DirectivesType complex type presents flags describing what information has been included in the results file. There are six possible results (true, false, unknown, error, not evaluated, and not applicable) for an evaluation of an OVAL Definition. The directives state which of these results are being reported in the results file. For example, a results file dealing with vulnerabilities might only present to the user the definitions that returned a true result meaning the vulnerability exists. A different result file dealing with compliance definitions might want to report the results of all definitions except those not evaluated.
