NAME

       stanza - Stanza file format

SYNOPSIS

       stanza

DESCRIPTION

       A stanza file format is used in conjunction with the libAF(3) stanza file library.

       The  stanza file syntax rules are as follows: Separate entries by one or more blank lines.  A colon (:) terminates a entry name.  A newline
       terminates an attribute name and value pair.  Separate a attribute name and attribute value with an equal sign (=).  Separate more than one
       attribute  value  with  a comma (,).  Entry names and attribute names can contain any printable character, except whitespace, a newline, or
       special characters, unless specified appropriately.  Entry attribute values can contain any printable character, except a newline  or  spe-
       cial  characters, unless specified appropriately.  Trailing blanks or tabs are allowed at the beginning or end of lines.  A number sign (#)
       at the beginning of a line indicates a comment.	Comments should be included only at the beginning or the end of an entry.

       The syntax for a stanza file entry is as follows:

       entry_name:
		Attribute1_name = Attribute1_value
		Attribute2_name = Attribute2_value
		Attribute3_name = Attribute3_value1, Attribute3_value2
	.
	.
	.

       The entry_name variable specifies the entry name.  The attributes for the entry are specified with  the	Attribute1_name,  Attribute2_name,
       and Attribute3_name variables.  The values for the attributes are specified with the Attribute1_value, Attribute2_value, Attribute3_value1,
       and Attribute3_value2 variables.

       Several special quoting characters allow attribute values to contain special values and data representations.  If  you  specify	a  quoting
       character, surround the attribute value with quotes.  For example, to specify an octal value use the slash character: 07
