SYNOPSIS

10       The  ddupdate.conf  file  holds  default values for all ddupdate(8) op‐
11       tions. Since ddupdate normally is invoked without command line  parame‐
12       ters, this file then represents the used option values.

BASIC FILE FORMAT

16       The file is formatted according to the rules use by the python3 config‐
17       parser module.  Basically, this is a leading [update] line followed  by
18       by   key = value lines. The key represents the command line option, and
19       value the value of said option.
20
21       The actual options available are documented in ddupdate(8).

EXTENDED FORMAT FOR MULTIPLE HOSTS

25       File has experimental support for updating multiple services.  This  is
26       done  using  multiple [hostname] sections. The hostname is an arbitrary
27       string without whitespace. Each section has the same syntax as the  BA‐
28       SIC FILE FORMAT [update] section.
