**sync.conf** - Sync configuration file
Description
===========
.. include:: ../frags/common-conf-syntax.rst
Files containing default values for many of the options described below
are installed under ``$PREFIX/share/sync/config.d/``.
The configuration file given with **-c** to Sync binaries
overrides these defaults.
A configuration file may include another, by using the ``@INLINE@`` directive,
for example, in ``main.conf``, you could write ``@INLINE@ sub.conf`` to
include the entirety of ``sub.conf`` at that point in ``main.conf``.
Be extra careful when using ``sync-config -V VALUE`` to change configuration
values: it will destroy all uses of ``@INLINE@`` and furthermore remove all
comments from the configuration file!
