| === 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. |
