.SH OPTIONS
The configuration options are case-insensitive;
their value, on a case by case basis, may be case-sensitive.
.LP
Blank lines and lines beginning with a hash mark (`#')
are ignored up to their end.
.LP
Valid lines are made of an option's name (a sequence of non-blanks,
conventionally written in uppercase, although not required),
followed by a value.
The value starts with the first non-blank character after
the option's name, and terminates at the end of the line,
or at the last sequence of blanks before the end of the line.
The tokenization of the value, if any, is delegated to the handler(s)
for that option, if any. Quoting values that contain blanks
may be incorrect, as the quotes would become part of the value.
For example,
URI "ldap:// ldaps://"
is incorrect, while
URI ldap:// ldaps://
is correct (note the absence of the double quotes).
.LP
A line cannot be longer than LINE_MAX, which should be more than 2000 bytes
on all platforms.
There is no mechanism to split a long line on multiple lines, either for
beautification or to overcome the above limit.
.LP
The different configuration options are:
.TP
.B URI <ldap[s]://[name[:port]] ...>
