a particular functional area.
Sections are denoted by a section name contained in square brackets: for example,
[Process]. The configuration file can contain any or all of these sections:
 [Process]
The [Process] section contains settings related to general TimeSync process attributes.
 [Server]
The [Server] section contains settings related to TimeSync running as a time source
server (i.e. supplying time to remote systems).
 [Client]
The [Client] section contains settings related to TimeSync running as a time source
client (i.e. obtaining time information from one or more remote time sources).
 [Logging]
The [Logging] section contains settings related to TimeSync’s dedicated logging
mechanism. These settings affect TimeSync’s logging mechanism only and do not
control what information is written to the system log on any platform.
 [Tracing]
The [Tracing] section contains settings related to TimeSync’s built-in trace facility.
Each section of the configuration file can contain one or more option settings that relate
to that section. These options are specified using keyword/value pairs, with one such pair
given per line. The format for a keyword/value pair is:
<option keyword> [=] <option value>
The equal sign (=) is optional. Some examples of valid configuration option specifications
would be:
LocalPort = 123
ServerMode False
Once the TimeSync process encounters a section in the configuration file, all subsequent
option specifications are treated as part of that section until another section is
encountered or until the end of the configuration file is reached.
Comments can be added to the configuration file wherever desired. Any line beginning
with a # character is treated as a comment line and is ignored, as are all lines containing
only white space characters.
