Description
===========
-The configuration file is line-oriented.
-Blank lines and whitespace at the beginning and end of a line are ignored.
-Comments start with ``#`` or ``%`` in the first column
-(after any beginning-of-line whitespace) and go to the end of the line.
-
-The file is split into sections.
-Every section begins with “[SECTIONNAME]” and
-contains a number of options of the form “OPTION=VALUE”.
-There may be whitespace around the ``=`` (equal sign).
-Section names and options are *case-insensitive*.
-
-The values, however, are *case-sensitive*.
-In particular, boolean values are one of ``YES`` or ``NO``.
-Values can include whitespace by surrounding
-the entire value with ``"`` (double quote).
-Note, however, that there are no escape characters in such strings;
-all characters between the double quotes (including other double quotes)
-are taken verbatim.
-
-Values that represent filenames can begin with a ``/bin/sh``-like
-variable reference.
-This can be simple, such as ``$TMPDIR/foo``, or complex,
-such as ``${TMPDIR:-${TMP:-/tmp}}/foo``.
-See ``[PATHS]`` (below).
-
-Values that represent a time duration are represented as a series of one or
-more ``NUMBER UNIT`` pairs, e.g. ``60 s``, ``4 weeks 1 day``, ``5 years 2 minutes``.
-
-Values that represent an amount are in the usual amount syntax:
-``CURRENCY:VALUE.FRACTION``, e.g. ``EUR:1.50``.
-The ``FRACTION`` portion may extend up to 8 places.

Files containing default values for many of the options described below
are installed under ``$TALER_PREFIX/share/taler/config.d/``.
