SYNOPSYS

Retriever URI:

cfgfile:retrieverURI

i.e.

cfgfile:file:/etc/sfidirector/objevents

DESCRIPTION

The config file retriever provides read-only access to text files. The file is read line by line. Whenever a line starting with the keyword include is seen by the retriever, this line is replaced by the file referred to by the include statement.

The include statement must have the form

include retrieverURI

where the retrieverURI does specify the retrieval method and location of the file to be included.

Directories

As a special case, if

• the URI is file:/some/path
• the file specified is a directory then all the non-hidden files in the named directory all included.
