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, for example:

i2p.conf:

log = 1
v6 = 0
ircdest = irc.postman.i2p

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

port = 6668

#
# incoming tunnel sample, for local service
# mandatory parameters:

# * 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
