The value types recognized are string
,
localestring
, regexp
,
boolean
, and
numeric
.
Values of type string
may contain all ASCII
characters except for control characters.
Values of type localestring
are user displayable,
and are encoded in UTF-8.
Values of type boolean
must either be the string
true
or false
.
Values of type numeric
must be a valid floating
point number as recognized by the %f
specifier for
scanf
.
The escape sequences \s
, \n
,
\t
, \r
, and
\\
are supported for values of type
string
and localestring
, meaning
ASCII space, newline, tab, carriage return, and backslash, respectively.
Some keys can have multiple values. In such a case, the value of the key
is specified as a plural: for example, string(s)
. The
multiple values should be separated by a semicolon. Those keys which
have several values should have a semicolon as the trailing character.
Semicolons in these values need to be escaped using
\;
.
