NAME
       stanza - Stanza file format

SYNOPSIS
       stanza

DESCRIPTION
       A  stanza  file	format is used in conjunction with the libAF(3) stanza
       file library.

       The stanza file syntax rules are as follows: Separate entries by one or
       more blank lines.  A colon (:) terminates a entry name.	A newline ter‐
       minates an attribute name and value pair.  Separate  a  attribute  name
       and  attribute  value  with  an equal sign (=).	Separate more than one
       attribute value with a comma (,).  Entry names and attribute names  can
       contain	any printable character, except whitespace, a newline, or spe‐
       cial characters, unless specified appropriately.	 Entry attribute  val‐
       ues  can	 contain  any printable character, except a newline or special
       characters, unless specified appropriately.  Trailing  blanks  or  tabs
       are allowed at the beginning or end of lines.  A number sign (#) at the
       beginning of a line indicates a comment. Comments  should  be  included
       only at the beginning or the end of an entry.

       The syntax for a stanza file entry is as follows:

       entry_name:
		Attribute1_name = Attribute1_value
		Attribute2_name = Attribute2_value
		Attribute3_name = Attribute3_value1, Attribute3_value2

       .  .  .

       The  entry_name	variable specifies the entry name.  The attributes for
       the entry are specified with the Attribute1_name, Attribute2_name,  and
       Attribute3_name variables.  The values for the attributes are specified
       with the	 Attribute1_value,  Attribute2_value,  Attribute3_value1,  and
       Attribute3_value2 variables.

       Several	special	 quoting  characters allow attribute values to contain
       special values and data representations.	  If  you  specify  a  quoting
       character,  surround  the attribute value with quotes.  For example, to
       specify an octal value use the slash character:

       \007
