Configuration Files
These files, typically called "xyzzy.conf" (where "xyzzy" is the name of your application), can be interrogated to obtain locally specific settings and can be used to store such settings between invocations of the application.
Configuration File Syntax
Warning:
The information below can be useful but the Settings file syntax is considered "internal" and is subject to change without notice at any time so the information is unreliable.
It is recommended to
NOT access the configuration files directly in your application as the format may change. Use the Settings.class instead.
A configuration file is a text file, in which each line is:
-
A void line, that is ignored.
-
A comment line, beginning with a '
#' or a ';' character, that is ignored.
-
A value line, which is a
"Key=Value" pair.
-
A slot line, which begins with a '
[' character, and ends with a ']' character. This groups key/value lines together in a slot.
A value is accessed from its full key, which is the slot name followed by a slash and the key.
A slot name can contain slashes too.
