File Structure

The configuration file complies with the rules indicated below.

The file content is separated into named sections. Allowed section names are strictly set and cannot be arbitrary. A section name is specified in square brackets and is identical to the name of the Dr.Web Industrial for Unix File Servers component that uses parameters of this section (except for the [Root] section, which stores parameters of the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration daemon).

The ; or # characters in the beginning of the lines of the configuration file indicate a comment. Such lines are skipped by Dr.Web Industrial for Unix File Servers components while reading configuration parameters from the configuration file.

Each line in the file can contain only one parameter:

<parameter> = <value>

All parameter names are strictly set and cannot be arbitrary.

All section and parameter names are case-insensitive. Parameter values, except for names of directories and files in paths (for UNIX-like OSes), are also case-insensitive.

Parameter values in the configuration file must be enclosed in quotation marks if these values contain spaces.

Some parameters can accept multiple values. If so, the values are either comma-separated or specified several times in different lines of the configuration file. In the former case, spaces around a comma are ignored. If a space character is a part of a parameter value, the entire value must be enclosed in quotation marks.

You can specify multiple values as:

oа comma-separated list:

Parameter = "Value1", "Value2","Value 3"

oа sequence of lines in the configuration file:

Parameter = Value2
Parameter = Value1
Parameter = "Value 3"

The order of values is unimportant.

Paths to files are always enclosed in quotation marks when separated by commas, for example:

ExcludedPaths = "/etc/file1", "/etc/file2"

For the description of the sections of the configuration file, see the description of the Dr.Web Industrial for Unix File Servers components using it.
