; sample-config.ini: a commented INI configuration file.
; Free sample from 99helpers.com/file-types/ini
; INI has no single standard. This file sticks to the parts that almost
; every parser agrees on. The numbered comments mark the parts explained
; on that page.

; 1. Comments: a line starting with ; is a comment in every dialect.
;    Many parsers also accept #, but PHP's does not, so this file avoids it.

; 2. A section header: a name in square brackets. Keys below it belong to it.
[app]
; 3. A key, an equals sign and a value. Spaces around = are trimmed.
name = Sample web app
version = 2.10
; 4. Every value is text. The program decides that this means "no".
debug = false
port = 8080
; 5. An empty value
owner =

; 6. A new section starts a new group of keys
[database]
host = db.example.internal
port = 5432
; 7. Values may contain spaces and most punctuation without quotes
label = Main database: primary, read/write

[paths]
; 8. Backslashes are ordinary characters in most dialects (not in Git's)
data_dir = C:\ProgramData\SampleApp
log_file = /var/log/sample-app.log

; 9. Lists have no standard syntax: a comma-separated value is common
[features]
languages = en, nl, fr
allowed_hosts = example.com, www.example.com

; 10. Spaces and dots in names work in most parsers (not in Git's)
[mail server]
smtp.host = mail.example.internal
smtp.port = 587
