Syntax
Syntax
The syntax for a FASTCNFG file is informally structured and consists of a keyword and
keyword value followed by one or more pairs of attributes and attribute values:
keyword keyword-value
attribute = attribute-value
[ attribute = attribute-value ]...
Miscellaneous Syntax Elements
Miscellaneous syntax elements include:
•
Case-sensitivity
•
Comments
•
Line continuation
•
Separator characters
•
Starting position relative to the beginning of a line
Case-Sensitivity
FASTCNFG file syntax is not case sensitive. However, some attribute values can be
case-sensitive (for example, a password value).
Comments
Comments can be inserted anywhere in the FASTCNFG file and must follow an
exclamation mark (!). Anything following an exclamation mark is considered to be a
comment until another exclamation mark or the end of the line is encountered.
Line Continuation
Line continuation does not require any special characters or format as long as you do
not split keywords, keyword values, attributes, or attribute values. For example:
!This is legal
SPOOLER
$SPLG
TIMEOUT
=
999
!This is not legal
SPOOL
ER $SPLG
TIME
OUT=
999
