2.1 Configuration file errors
When savdid starts it will do some checks on the configuration and may display one or more errors. The errors have the following format:
<lineno>: <option name>: <option value>: <error message>
The <option name> will include the sub-configurations, if any, where the option is located. So for example "channel[3]-scanner[1]-deny" specifies the deny option in the first scanner sub-configuration of the third channel.
2.2 Options Summary
In the following tables, the columns are:
Option - the option name and the format of the option.
N - the cardinality of the option, ie how many there can or should be. A single number (usually
'1') indicates that there must be that number of options present. A range, 0..1 for example, indicates the minimum and maximum number of occurrences. The example, 0..1 is for something that can occur at most once. 1..N means that it must occur at least once but there is otherwise no limit.
Default - the default value if there is one. '-' indicates that there is no default.
Comment - self-explanatory.
