Configuration File Format

Configuration file options are specified as keyword=value. On Windows, the directory separator can be a double backslash (\\) or a single forward slash (/). The path name must not be enclosed in double quotation marks ("").

Valid keywords and the corresponding command-line options are listed in the parameter table.

Note: A hash mark (#) in column 1 starts a comment line.
