.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS

vmm.cfg

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBvmm\fR(1) reads configuration data from \fIvmm.cfg\fP.

.br

The configuration file is split in multiple sections. A section starts with the

section  name, enclosed in square brackets '[' and ']' (e.g. \fB[database]\fP),

followed by \'option=value' pairs (e.g. \fBhost = 127.0.0.1\fP).

.br

Whitespace around the '=' and at the end of a value is ignored.

.PP

Empty lines and lines starting with '#' or ';' will be ignored.

.PP

Each value uses one of the following data types:

.IP \(bu

.I Boolean

to indicate if something is enabled/activated (true) or disabled/deactivated

(false).

.br

Accepted values for \fBtrue\fP are: \fB1\fP, \fByes\fP, \fBtrue\fP and \fBon\fP.

.br

Accepted values for \fBfalse\fP are: \fB0\fP, \fBno\fP, \fBfalse\fP and

\fBoff\fP.

.IP \(bu

.I Int

an integer number, written without a fractional or decimal component. For

example \fB1\fP, \fB50\fP or \fB321\fP are integers.

.IP \(bu

.I String

a sequence of characters and numbers. For example '\fBword\fP', '\fBhello

world\fP', or '\fB/usr/bin/strings\fP'
