8 * @file conftypes.h
9 * @brief Types used to specify configurable options.
11 * This header defines the types that different modules will use in order to
12 * declare their configuration and state variables, and tell the configuration
13 * management code about those variables. From the individual module's point
14 * of view, its configuration and state are simply data structures.
16 * For defining new variable types, see var_type_def_st.h.
18 * For the code that manipulates variables defined via this module, see
19 * lib/confmgt/, especially typedvar.h and (later) structvar.h. The
20 * configuration manager is responsible for encoding, decoding, and
21 * maintaining the configuration structures used by the various modules.
23 * STATUS NOTE: This is a work in process refactoring. It is not yet possible
24 * for modules to define their own variables, and much of the configuration
25 * management code is still in src/app/config/.
