# for configuration.
# Some valid command lines..
#   config.py -h --help            ; Turn on help
#   config.py -no-h --no-help --help=no  ; Turn off help
#   config.py -qqq -q=3            ; verbosity to 3
#   config.py -c /etc/apt/apt.conf ; include that config file]
#   config.py -o help=true         ; Turn on help by giving a config file string
#   config.py -no-h -- -help       ; Turn off help, specify the file '-help'
# -c and -o are standard APT-program options.

# This shows how to use the system for configuration and option control.
# The other varient is for ISC object config files. See configisc.py.
