The Exclude transform retains files based on their path, letting everything in except those files whose path matches at least one of the configured patterns. The contents of files, and any of their other characteristics, are unaffected.
Exclude is a basic building block seldom used as is, which makes sense if composed inside a Chain or a Merge. It is often more convenient to leverage the shorthand notation offered by Combo.
