1.2. Plain Text Configuration Files

The plain text configuration file, when invoked, writes option values into UM's current default attributes. These are then read and used in the creation of all objects.

See Example Configuration Scenarios for example configuration files.

1.2.1. Reading Plain Text Configuration Files

There are two ways to read a plain text configuration file to set values in current default attributes.

1.2.2. Plain Text Configuration File Format

A plain text configuration file contains lines that each take the form

scope_keyword option_name option_value

where

scope_keyword - the scope to which the option applies,

option_name - the predefined name for the option, and

option_value - the new value to be assigned to that option.

Allowable values for these parameters are given throughout the rest of this document. Any text following a hash character # (also known as a pound sign, number sign, or octothorpe) is interpreted as comment text and is ignored.

For example:

# Set transport_tcp_port_low to 4901
context transport_tcp_port_low 4901
# And set transport_tcp_port_high to 4920
context transport_tcp_port_high 4920
