doc/examples/configure-index

   1 /* This file is an index of all APT configuration directives. It should
   2    NOT actually be used as a real config file, though it is (except for the
   3    last line) a completely valid file. Most of the options have sane default
   4    values, unless you have specific needs you should NOT include arbitrary
   5    items in a custom configuration.
   6
   7    In some instances involving filenames it is possible to set the default
   8    directory when the path is evaluated. This means you can use relative
   9    paths within the sub scope.
  10
  11    The configuration directives are specified in a tree with {} designating
  12    a subscope relative to the tag before the {}. You can further specify
  13    a subscope using scope notation eg,
  14      APT::Architecture "i386";
  15    This is prefixed with the current scope. Scope notation must be used
  16    if an option is specified on the command line with -o.
