Configuration file structure
The configuration file is an ASCII file and can be edited in a standard text editor. Key
components in the file are:
•
Block:
A block contains sections, sub-sections, and parameters. Blocks start with:
%begin block_name
and end with
%end block_name
•
Section:
A section contains sub-sections and parameters. Sections start with:
[SECTION_NAME]
and end with another block or section name. Section names are not case sensitive.
•
Sub-section:
A sub-section contains parameters. Sub-sections start with:
<SUB-SECTION_NAME>
and end with another block, section, or sub-section name. Sub-section names are not
case sensitive.
•
Parameter:
A parameter takes the form:
parameter
=
value
Each parameter and value pair must appear on its own line. Parameter names are not
case sensitive. Parameter values
are
case-sensitive.
•
Comments:
Comments begin with the pound sign (#) and continue until the end of
the line.
• Dash (-) and underscore (_) characters can be used in section names, sub-section
names, and parameter names, and are strictly equivalent.
• Blank lines are ignored and may be added in to make the file easier to read.
• Strings containing spaces must be contained in double-quotes.
