<p>By default, the main configuration file is named <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt>, with the exception of
Windows, where it is named <tt class="FILENAME">config.txt</tt>. Configuration lines consist of an initial keyword
followed by a list of values, all separated by whitespace (any number of spaces or tabs). For example:</p>
- <p class="LITERALLAYOUT"><tt class="LITERAL"> <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">confdir

indicates that the configuration directory is named <span class="QUOTE">"/etc/privoxy/"</span>.</p>
