Attribute-value pairs are of the form name = value.
A section begins with a section name, followed on the same line by an open bracket {. The section may contain other sections, or attribute-value pairs. The section ends with a close bracket }, on a line by itself.
Any line beginning with a (#) is deemed to be a comment, and is ignored. Lines containing only whitespace are also ignored.
The file is line-based. That is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a section name, or an attribute-value pair. It is not possible to specify multiple items on the same line, and there are no continuation lines.
The value for a particular attribute may reference a previously defined attribute by name. The standard shell reference format ${name} is used.
The individidual configuration directives are too numerous to list here, so this manual page only documents the file format. Please read the sample configuration file distributed with the server for comments describing each of the allowed configuration directives.
