This section provides an overview of Finit's configuration system. For
detailed information on specific topics, see the individual sections in
the navigation menu.
Configuration File Syntax
--------------------------
The file format is line based, empty lines and comments, lines starting
with `#`, are ignored. A configuration directive starts with a keyword
followed by a space and the rest of the line is treated as the value.
As of Finit v4.4, configuration directives can be broken up in multiple
lines using the continuation character `\`, and trailing comments are
also allowed. Example:
```aconf
# Escape \# chars if you want them literal in, e.g., descriptions
service name:sysklogd [S123456789] \
env:-/etc/default/sysklogd \
syslogd -F $SYSLOGD_ARGS \
-- System log daemon \# 1 # Comments allowed
```
The .conf files `/etc/finit.conf` and `/etc/finit.d/*` support many
directives. Some are restricted, e.g., only available at bootstrap,
runlevel `S`. Read on in [Files & Layout](files.md) for more on how
to structure your .conf files.
For details on restrictions, see [Limitations](limitations.md).
