In this case, the key ``foo`` has ``bar``, ``baz`` and ``qux``.
|
||||
|

However, a sub-key and a value can not co-exist under a parent key.
|
||||
For example, following config is NOT allowed.::
|
||||
Moreover, sub-keys and a value can coexist under a parent key.
|
||||
For example, following config is allowed.::
|
||||
|
||||
foo = value1
|
||||
foo.bar = value2 # !ERROR! subkey "bar" and value "value1" can NOT co-exist
|
||||
foo.bar := value2 # !ERROR! even with the override operator, this is NOT allowed.
|
||||
foo.bar = value2
|
||||
foo := value3 # This will update foo's value.
|
||||
|
||||
Note, since there is no syntax to put a raw value directly under a
|
||||
structured key, you have to define it outside of the brace. For example::
|
||||
|
||||
foo {
|
||||
bar = value1
|
||||
bar {
|
||||
baz = value2
|
||||
qux = value3
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the order of the value node under a key is fixed. If there
|
||||
are a value and subkeys, the value is always the first child node
|
||||
of the key. Thus if user specifies subkeys first, e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
foo.bar = value1
|
||||
foo = value2
|
||||
|
||||
In the program (and /proc/bootconfig), it will be shown as below::
|
||||
|
||||
foo = value2
|
||||
foo.bar = value1
