DESCRIPTION

10       tlog-play.conf  is  a JSON-format configuration file for tlog-play pro‐
11       gram.  Contrary to the strict JSON specification, both C and C++  style
12       comments are allowed in the file.
13
14       The  file must contain a single JSON object with the objects and fields
15       described below.  Some of them are optional and assume a default value.
16       Those  that  do  require  a value can still be omitted and specified to
17       tlog-play via command-line options.
