# The first two lines, starting with '#', specify a comment 
# The first paragraph specifies that the robot called 'webcrawler' has nothing disallowed: it may go anywhere. 

# The second paragraph indicates that the robot called 'lycra' has all relative URLs starting with '/' disallowed. Because all relative URL's on a server start with '/', this means the entire site is closed off. 

# The third paragraph indicates that all other robots should not visit URLs starting with /tmp or /log. Note the '*' is a special token, meaning "any other User-agent"; you cannot use wildcard patterns or regular expressions in either User-agent or Disallow lines. 

# Two common errors: 

# Wildcards are _not_ supported: instead of 'Disallow: /tmp/*' just say 'Disallow: /tmp/'. 
# You shouldn't put more than one path on a Disallow line (this may change in a future version of the spec)
