STANDARD CONFIGURATION
FILE FORMAT
This standard defines the format of configuration files. An application
program should keep its configuration information in a single file.
Configuration files should be human readable and in the following
format:
#
# EXAMPLE.INI
# Example
Configuration File
#
# Lines begininning with a hash or a semicolon are ignored by the
application
# program. Blank lines are also ignored by the application program.
#
# The
following option is activated because it is not prefixed by a
semicolon.
# This will be interpreted by the
application program.
USETHISOPTION
# The
following option is not activated, because it is commented out by
a
# semicolon.
; DONOTUSETHISOPTION
# Leading
spaces are ignored by the application program. Configuration
option
# names are not case
sensitive, but configuration arguments are case sensitive.

# An optional
equals sign can be used to separate arguments from the
option.
# This is dropped by the parser. Multiple arguments can be separated by
commas
# or semicolons. Leading
and trailing spaces are ignored by the application.
