Format of configuration parameter names and values
The rules for configuration parameter names and values are the same regardless of whether the parameters are set through the solid.ini file or an ADMIN COMMAND:
The section and parameter names are not case-sensitive.
The string values are not case-sensitive.
In most cases, units are not case-sensitive. For example, to specify that the units are in megabytes, you can use any of the following: m, M, MB, mb, Mb, or mB. Some units are case-sensitive and such cases are documented: for example, time units “s” (seconds) and “ms” (milliseconds).
The syntax for general parameter value setting is:
param_name [space characters] = [space characters] value_literal
The syntax for the value is
value_literal [space characters] unit_of_measure
where
param_name is the parameter name. When used in an ADMIN COMMAND, the parameter name must be the full parameter name, including the section name, for example, Logging.DurabilityLevel. When used in the solid.ini file, the parameter cannot include the section name, since the parameter must already be listed under the appropriate section header.
value_literal is the value to be assigned to the parameter. The value is usually a literal, such as the number 12, or a string, such as "tcp MyServer2 1315". If you specify no value, the parameter is set to its startup value. If you assign a parameter value with an asterisk (*), the parameter is set to its factory value.
String literals normally need to be in double quotation marks if they are used in an ADMIN COMMAND.
unit_of_measure is the unit of measure, for example MB for megabytes or ms for milliseconds.
[space characters] represents places where spaces are allowed but not required. Spaces around the equals sign are optional. Spaces between the value and the unit of measure are optional.
For example, allowed forms include:
CacheSize=32M
cachesize=32m
CacheSize = 32 m
