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