SECTIONS

14       The file consists of sections, whose name starts with  SMSBackup.  When
15       creating the backup file, three digits are appended to this text defin‐
16       ing order. While reading the backup, any part after SMSBackup  text  is
17       ignored  and everything which begins with this is processed. So you can
18       as well give the section name SMSBackupFoo and it will be processed.
19
20       The  number  of  messages  in  backup  file  is  currently  limited  by
21       GSM_BACKUP_MAX_SMS (100000 at time of writing this document).
22
23   SMSBackup section
24       Each  section interprets one physical SMS message (eg. one message part
25       in case of multipart messages).
26
27   Decoded text
28       For SMS backups created by Gammu, there is a decoded text as a  comment
29       just after the section name:
30
31          [SMSBackup001]
32          ; This is message text
33
34       The  text  can  be split to more lines if it is too long or of original
35       message included new lines.
36

39          reliable one, because it is stored in the comments in the file.
