+Configuration Guide
+
+ This section describes the configuration file syntax and settings.
+
+ Each of the programs that make up the RPKI tookit can potentially take
+ its own configuration file, but for most uses this is unnecessarily
+ complicated. The recommended approach is to use a single configuration
+ file, and to put all of the parameters that a normal user might need to
+ change into a single section of that configuration file, then reference
+ these common settings from the program-specific sections of the
+ configuration file via macro expansion. The configuration file parser
+ supports a limited version of the macro facility used in OpenSSL's
+ configuration parser. An expression such as
+
+foo = ${bar::baz}
+
+ sets foo to the value of the baz variable from section bar. The section
+ name ENV is special: it refers to environment variables.
+
+ The default name for the shared configuration file is myrpki.conf.
+
+[myrpki]
+
+ The [myrpki] section of myrpki.conf contains all the parameters that
+ you really need to configure.
+
+# Handle naming hosted resource-holding entity (<self/>) represented
+# by this myrpki instance. Syntax is an identifier (ASCII letters,
+# digits, hyphen, underscore -- no whitespace, non-ASCII characters,
+# or other punctuation). You need to set this.
+
+handle = Me
+
+ Every resource-holding or server-operating entity needs a "handle",
+ which is just an identifier by which the entity calls itself. Handles
+ do not need to be globally unique, but should be chosen with an eye
+ towards debugging operational problems: it's best if you use a handle
+ that your parents and children will recognize as being you.
+
+ Warning:
+ The rest of this section of the configuration file isn't
+ documented yet, beyond the comments already present in the
+ example file.

+# a good reason.
