=== Format: YAML, and its Drawbacks
The general configuration format used is YAML. The stock python YAML parser
does have several drawbacks: too many complex possibilities and alternative
ways of formatting a configuration, but at the time of writing seems to be the
only widely used configuration format that offers a simple and human readable
formatting as well as nested structuring. It is recommended to use only the
exact YAML subset seen in this manual in case the osmo-gsm-tester should move
to a less bloated parser in the future.
Careful: if a configuration item consists of digits and starts with a zero, you
need to quote it, or it may be interpreted as an octal notation integer! Please
avoid using the octal notation on purpose, it is not provided intentionally.
