Summary

The read_conf causes the standard WACS XML configuration file, wacs.cfg to be parsed and the contents read into internal memory structures in the WACS module for later use by other WACS routines. The main interface to accessing this information is the call conf_get_attr.

read_conf is sensitive to the environment variable WACS_CONFIG which specifies a directory containing an alternative wacs.cfg configuration file.

Availability

read_conf is available in both perl and php.
