The remaining variables are tested for existence and their 97values are treated like option arguments. 98 99 100@noindent 101@code{libopts} will search in 2 places for configuration files: 102@itemize @bullet 103@item 104$HOME 105@item 106$PWD 107@end itemize 108The environment variables @code{HOME}, and @code{PWD} 109are expanded and replaced when @file{ntpsnmpd} runs. 110For any of these that are plain files, they are simply processed. 111For any that are directories, then a file named @file{.ntprc} is searched for 112within that directory and processed. 113 114Configuration files may be in a wide variety of formats. 115The basic format is an option name followed by a value (argument) on the 116same line. Values may be separated from the option name with a colon, 117equal sign or simply white space. Values may be continued across multiple 118lines by escaping the newline with a backslash. 119 120Multiple programs may also share the same initialization file. 121Common options are collected at the top, followed by program specific 122segments. The segments are separated by lines like: 123@example 124[NTPSNMPD] 125@end example 126@noindent 127or by 128@example 129<?program ntpsnmpd> 130@end example 131@noindent 132Do not mix these styles within one configuration file. 133 134Compound values and carefully constructed string values may also be 135specified using XML syntax: 136@example 137<option-name> 138 <sub-opt>...<...>...</sub-opt> 139</option-name> 140@end example 141@noindent 142yielding an @code{option-name.sub-opt} string value of 143@example 144"...<...>..." 145@end example 146@code{AutoOpts} does not track suboptions. You simply note that it is a 147hierarchicly valued option. @code{AutoOpts} does provide a means for searching 148the associated name/value pair list (see: optionFindValue). 149 150The command line options relating to configuration and/or usage help are: 151 152@subsubheading version (-) 153 154Print the program version to standard out, optionally with licensing 155information, then exit 0. The optional argument specifies how much licensing 156detail to provide. The default is to print just the version. The licensing infomation may be selected with an option argument. 157Only the first letter of the argument is examined: 158 159@table @samp 160@item version 161Only print the version.
