This is the Document Type Definition for the ANet configuration files. It is for XML version 1.0.
Note that while this DTD file might change in future versions of ANet, the deamon should never check if the XML configuration file is correct.

A sample XML configuration file can be seen here.

The plain-text DTD file is here.

The XML specifications are here (external link).

<!-- ******** Generic Entities ******** -->
<!ENTITY ANet.XMLVersion % 1.0a1>

<!-- ******* Attribute Entities ******* -->

<!-- Unique name for the element type. -->
<!ENTITY name % "name ID #REQUIRED">

<!-- Module name corresponding to that element.
A Module Instance will be created for each element with a module name. -->
<!ENTITY moduleName % "module CDATA #REQUIRED">

<!-- Arguments given to the module. They are POSIX-style arguments.
One-letter arguments: "-c -v" or "-cv".
String arguments: "-_-file="a.txt" (mentally delete underscore;
XML doesn't allow me to write that directly in XML comments).
You can mix both style of arguments. -->
<!ENTITY args % "args CDATA #IMPLIED">

<!-- Element security. This limits access for the Client Connection
Modules. The security attribute of an element is the one it has, if it's
not "no_change", otherwise it is the one from its closest ancestor with a
value other than "no_change". -->
<!ENTITY security % "access (r | w | rw | no_access | no_change) no_change">

<!-- #FIXED attributes are values that can be changed only at run-time.
Their default are discarded when parsing and replaced with the generated
value. -->
