Config files

INI-like, syntax is the following : = . Comments are "#", not ";" as you may expect. See boost ticket All command-line parameters are allowed as keys, but note for those which contains dot (.).

For example:

i2p.conf:

# comment
log = yes
ipv6 = yes
# settings for specific module
[httpproxy]
port = 4444
# ^^ this will be --httproxy.port= in cmdline
# another one
[sam]
enabled = yes

tunnels.cfg (filename of this config is subject of change):

# outgoing tunnel sample, to remote service
# mandatory parameters:
# * type -- always "client"
# * port -- local port to listen to
# * destination -- i2p hostname
# optional parameters (may be omitted)
# * keys -- our identity, if unset, will be generated on every startup,
#     if set and file missing, keys will be generated and placed to this file
# * address -- local interface to bind
# * signaturetype -- signature type for new destination. 0,1 or 7

type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6668
destination = irc.postman.i2p
keys = irc-keys.dat
#
# incoming tunnel sample, for local service
# mandatory parameters:
# * type -- "server" or "http"
# * host -- ip address of our service
# * port -- port of our service
# * keys -- file with LeaseSet of address in i2p
# optional parameters (may be omitted)
# * inport -- optional, i2p service port, if unset - the same as 'port'
# * accesslist -- comma-separated list of i2p addresses, allowed to connect
#    every address is b32 without '.b32.i2p' part
[LOCALSITE]

host = 127.0.0.1
port = 80
keys = site-keys.dat
[IRC-SERVER]
