# MINIVEND CONFIGURATION FILES

MiniVend can and usually does run multiple catalogs on the same server. If no Catalog directives are present in the main minivend.cfg file, the server will read only a single catalog's information from the one minivend.cfg file, just as in early versions of the program.

You normally call configuration directives with the directive as the first word on the line, with it's value or values following. Leading whitespace is stripped from the value.

You may call additional files with a rudimentary #include file statement. The directives called with includes are always appended at the end of the main configuration file. Though order is rarely important in the configuration files, you must define any directory settings in the main configuration file near the top if they are to be used to base the file calls of subsequent directives. Files are relative to the catalog directory (or MiniVend software directory, if in the main minivend.cfg file).

You can also use a type of ``here document'' to specify MiniVend directives, with the usual <<MARKER syntax. No semicolon is used to terminate the marker.
