.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
driver. All options names are case and white space insensitive when
parsed by the server, for example, "lynxe" and "LynxE" are equivalent.
