# Example configuration file.  Note that this attempts to present various
# configuration possibilities and may not actually give any sensible
# configuration.  For real life example see the examples/ directory.
#
# Most of the settings in this file are optional.  If some setting is
# mandatory it is mentioned separately.  If some setting is omitted it means
# that its builtin default value will be used.  Boolean values, that is
# setting something on or off, is done by setting either "true" or "false"
# value, respectively.
#
# The ServerInfo section is mandatory section.  Other sections are optional.
# However, if General section is defined it must be defined before the
# ConnectionParams sections.  On the other hand, the ConnectionParams section
# must be defined before Client, ServerConnection or RouterConnection
# sections.  Other sections can be in free order.
