- * Example configuration file for Anope. After making the appropriate
- * changes to this file, place it in the Anope conf directory (as
- * specified in the "Config" script, default /home/username/anope/conf)
- * under the name "anope.conf".
- *
- * The format of this file is fairly simple: three types of comments are supported:
- *  - All text after a '#' on a line is ignored, as in shell scripting
- *  - All text after '//' on a line is ignored, as in C++
- *  - A block of text like this one is ignored, as in C
- *
- * Outside of comments, there are three structures: blocks, keys, and values.
- *
- * A block is a named container, which contains a number of key to value pairs
- * - you may think of this as an array.
- *
- * A block is created like so:
- * foobar
- * {
- *    moo = "cow"
- *    foo = bar
- * }
- *
- * Note that nameless blocks are allowed and are often used with comments to allow
- * easily commenting an entire block, for example:
- * #foobar
- * {
- *    moo = "cow"
- *    foo = bar
- * }
- * is an entirely commented block.
- *
- * Keys are case insensitive. Values depend on what key - generally, information is
- * given in the key comment. The quoting of values (and most other syntax) is quite
- * flexible, however, please do not forget to quote your strings:
- *
- *   "This is a parameter string with spaces in it"
- *
- * If you need to include a double quote inside a quoted string, precede it
- * by a backslash:
- *
- *   "This string has \"double quotes\" in it"
- *
- * Time parameters can be specified either as an integer representing a
- * number of seconds (e.g. "3600" = 1 hour), or as an integer with a unit
- * specifier: "s" = seconds, "m" = minutes, "h" = hours, "d" = days.
- * Combinations (such as "1h30m") are not permitted. Examples (all of which
- * represent the same length of time, one day):
- *
- *   "86400", "86400s", "1440m", "24h", "1d"
- *
- * In the documentation for each directive, one of the following will be
- * included to indicate whether an option is required:
- *
- * [REQUIRED]
- *     Indicates a directive which must be given. Without it, Anope will
- *     not start.
- *
- * [RECOMMENDED]
- *     Indicates a directive which may be omitted, but omitting it may cause
- *     undesirable side effects.
- *
- * [OPTIONAL]
- *     Indicates a directive which is optional. If not given, the feature
- *     will typically be disabled. If this is not the case, more
- *     information will be given in the documentation.
- *
- * [DISCOURAGED]
- *     Indicates a directive which may cause undesirable side effects if
- *     specified.
- *
- * [DEPRECATED]
