config syntax

[Oyarsa]

Just a quick question on the config syntax.

Throughout the docs there is this notation: (as an example)

Code: Select all

oper::class

Can the blocks be entered as one line or do they have to be entered in the block format in the config file?

[SpaceDoG]

as long as it follows the same syntax it can be on 1 line... IE

Code: Select all

oper <name> {
	from {
		userhost <hostmask>;
		userhost <hostmask>;
	};
	password <password> { <auth-type>; };
	class <class-name>;
	flags <flags>;
	flags {
		<flag>;
		<flag>;
		...
	};
	swhois <whois info>;
	snomask <snomask>;
	modes <modes>;
	maxlogins <num>;
};

=

Code: Select all

oper <name> { from {userhost <hostmask>; userhost <hostmask>;	}; password <password> { <auth-type>; }; class <class-name>; flags <flags>; flags { <flag>; <flag>; ... };	swhois <whois info>; snomask <snomask>; modes <modes>; maxlogins <num>; };

If I'm not mistaken...

SpaceDoG is correct, I commonly use one line blocks instead of spreading them out to save space.

As long as you close ALL "'s and {}'s properly and put the ;'s in the right places it should work.

The original posted asked if he could use the syntax as it appears in the documentation of "oper::class", which cannot be done. In the doc section called "Configuration file explained", it explains that this format is used for notation only, and cannot be used in the conf.
