<a name="index-single_002dline-comments"></a>
<p><em>Comments</em> may appear anywhere where white space may appear in the
configuration file. There are two kinds of comments:
single-line and multi-line comments. <em>Single-line</em> comments start
with ‘<samp>#</samp>’ or ‘<samp>//</samp>’ and continue to the end of the line:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># This is a comment
// This too is a comment
</pre></div>
<a name="index-multi_002dline-comments"></a>
<p><em>Multi-line</em> or <em>C-style</em> comments start with the two
characters ‘<samp>/*</samp>’ (slash, star) and continue until the first
occurrence of ‘<samp>*/</samp>’ (star, slash).
</p>
<p>Multi-line comments cannot be nested. However, single-line comments
may well appear within multi-line ones.
