Reference Guide

1. Global Connect Parameters First.
Global connect parameters should be listed before other connect parameters in a wlx.ini file.
2. Connect is used for creating the VDI connection and is not mandatory.
As stated earlier, You can totally have empty INI file or an INI file that has other parameters. Any of the rest of the parameters can be
used if you desire, but are not necessary unless you want changes from client and other defaults.
3. Continue Lines by using a Space and Backslash.
Placing a space and backslash (\) at the end of a line indicates line continuation. No white space can appear after the backslash; the
requirement of white space between parameter entries is maintained by the use of the space before the backslash. In addition, starting
all parameters at the left margin and placing at least one leading space or tab at the beginning of all and only continuation lines makes
an INI file easier to read.
In circumstances where you require string concatenation, you can use a backslash without a space before or after concatenating with
the first set of characters from the previous line; for example the strings snow and ball may be concatenated to give snowball.
4. Blank Lines Make Files Easy to Read.
Using blank lines is recommended for making code easier to read.
5. Comment by using a # Sign.
As stated earlier, number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can begin anywhere on a line. Everything between the
# and the End of Line is ignored.
6. With White Spaces Require Quotation Marks.
Values of parameters and their options containing white spaces must be placed inside quotation marks, use common-practice nesting
rules.
7. Separate the lists by using Semicolons or Commas.
Use semicolons or commas for list separators.
8. Use the wlx.ini File to Set the Maximum Number of Connection Entries Allowed.
The number of connection entries defined in a wlx.ini files cannot exceed a defined total maximum number of connections. The
maximum number of connections has a default limit of 216, but can be set from 100 to 1000 using the wlx.ini file.
9. Use System Variables with Some Options of the Connect Parameter.
Some options of the Connect parameter can use the system variables shown in Table 1 to map the string. All combinations of the
variables are supported. For options that supports the use of system variables, see Connect Parameter Options.
10. The parameters described in square brace [ ].
The parameters described in square brace [ ] are dependant parameters and does not work individually.
11. Default values are made bold.
If a parameter has a default value, the default value is considered if the parameter is not mentioned with a specific cases.
