, is an ASCII text file containing
key-value pairs, one per line.
Each value in the file must be separated by a single = character, without
any surrounding spaces. Keys are not case sensitive.
This section only explains common options of the file.
Note: To use any options developed after version 2.2.13, the firmware
version running on your PX must be able to support them.
