Any option that is not marked as not presettable (see section no preset) may be preset by loading values from configuration ("rc" or "ini") files.
Configuration files may be in a wide variety of formats. The basic format is an option name followed by a value (argument) on the same line. Values may be separated from the option name with a colon, equal sign or simply white space. Values may be continued across multiple lines by escaping the newline with a backslash.
Multiple programs may also share the same initialization file. Common options are collected at the top, followed by program specific segments. The segments are separated by lines like:
[GETDEFS] |
or by
<?program getdefs> |
Do not mix these within one configuration file.
Compound values and carefully constructed string values may also be specified using XML syntax:
<option-name> <sub-opt>...<...>...</sub-opt> </option-name> |
yielding an option-name.sub-opt
string value of
"...<...>..." |
Autogen
does not track suboptions. You simply note that it is a
hierarchicly valued option. libopts
does provide a means for searching
the associated name/value pair list (see section optionFindValue).
