NAME
slp.conf - Configuration file for SLP Agents
SYNOPSIS
/etc/slp.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/slp.conf
file contains various configuration options for the agents which include the clients
that use SLP APIs, the Service Agent server and Directory agents. It determines the configuration of all
the SLP agents running on that host.
The SLP SA server and DA read the
slp.conf file during their invocation and also when they are
reconfigured by sending the
SIGHUP signal. The properties specified in the configuration file are read
into process memory.
Later modifications to this configuration file do not affect the operation of already running agents unless
they are reconfigured or restarted.
The configuration file is read by the SLP APIs whenever invoked by "UAs" to determine the value of
configuration parameters specified in the configuration file which are used by the APIs when sending
queries.
The configuration file format consists of a newline delimited list of zero or more property definitions.
Each property definition corresponds to a particular configurable SLP, network, or other parameter in
one or more of the three SLP agents. The file format grammar in ABNF [5] syntax is:
config-file = line-list
line-list = line / line line-list
line = property-line / comment-line
comment-line = ( "#" / ";" ) 1*allchar newline
property-line = property newline
property = tag "=" value-list
tag = prop / prop "." tag
prop = 1*tagchar
value-list = value / value "," value-list
value = int / bool /
"(" value-list ")" / string
int = 1*DIGIT
bool = "true" / "false" / "TRUE" / "FALSE"
newline = CR / ( CRLF )
string = 1*stringchar
tagchar = DIGIT / ALPHA / tother / escape
tother = %x21-%x2d / %x2f /
%x3a / %x3c-%x40 /
%x5b-%x60 / %7b-%7e
; i.e., all characters except ‘.’,
; and ‘=’.
stringchar = DIGIT / ALPHA / sother / escape
sother = %x21-%x29 / %x2a-%x2b /
%x2d-%x2f / %x3a-%x40 /
%x5b-%x60 / %7b-%7e
; i.e., all characters except ‘,’
allchar = DIGIT / ALPHA / HTAB / SP
escape = "
; Used for reserved characters
The configuration properties break down into the following categories:
DA Configuration
Static Scope Configuration
Tracing and Logging
Serialized Proxy Registrations
Networking Configuration Parameters
