config

The config command initializes the format for other commands.

• The errmsg attribute defines a message sent to the client when an error occurs while parsing the file. This error is also logged in the error log file.

• The timefmt attribute determines the format of the date for the flastmod command. It uses the same format characters as the util_strftime function. The default time format is: "%A, %d-%b-%y %T". For more information about time formats, see the Time Formats.

• The sizefmt attribute determines the format of the file size for the fsize command. It can have one of these values:

  • bytes to report file size as a whole number in the format 12,345,678.

  • abbrev (the default) to report file size as a number of KB or MB.

Example

<!--#config timefmt="%r %a %b %e, %Y" sizefmt="abbrev"-->

This sets the date format to a value such as 10:45:35 AM Wed Apr 21, 2006, and the file size format to the number of KB or MB of characters used by the file.
