<h4 class="subsection">2.1.1 Configuration</h4>
<a name="index-runtime-configuration"></a>

<p>There is a number of variables that you can tweak in order to
configure Polipo, and they should all be described in this manual
(see <a href="Variable-index.html#Variable-index">Variable index</a>). You can display the complete, most
up-to-date list of configuration variables by using the <samp>-v</samp>
command line flag or by accessing the “current configuration” page
of Polipo’s web interface (see <a href="Web-interface.html#Web-interface">Web interface</a>). Configuration
variables can be set either on the command line or else in the
configuration file given by the <samp>-c</samp> command-line flag.
</p>
<p>Configuration variables are typed, and <samp>-v</samp> will display their
types. The type can be of one of the following:
</p><ul>
<li> ‘<samp>integer</samp>’ or ‘<samp>float</samp>’: a numeric value;
</li><li> ‘<samp>boolean</samp>’: a truth value, one of ‘<samp>true</samp>’ or ‘<samp>false</samp>’;
</li><li> ‘<samp>tristate</samp>’: one of ‘<samp>false</samp>’, ‘<samp>maybe</samp>’ or ‘<samp>true</samp>’;
</li><li> ‘<samp>4-state</samp>’, one of ‘<samp>false</samp>’, ‘<samp>reluctantly</samp>’,
‘<samp>happily</samp>’ or ‘<samp>true</samp>’;
</li><li> ‘<samp>5-state</samp>’, one of ‘<samp>false</samp>’, ‘<samp>reluctantly</samp>’, ‘<samp>maybe</samp>’,
‘<samp>happily</samp>’ or ‘<samp>true</samp>’;
</li><li> ‘<samp>atom</samp>’, a string written within double quotes ‘<samp>"</samp>’);
</li><li> ‘<samp>list</samp>’, a comma-separated list of strings;
</li><li> ‘<samp>intlist</samp>’, a comma-separated list of integers and ranges of
integers (of the form ‘<var>n</var>–<var>m</var>’).
</li></ul>
<p>The configuration file has a very simple syntax. All blank lines are
ignored, as are lines starting with a hash sign ‘<samp>#</samp>’. Other lines
must be of the form
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>var</var> = <var>val</var>
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>var</var> is a variable to set and <var>val</var> is the value to set
it to.
</p>
<p>It is possible to change the configuration of a running polipo by
using the local configuration interface (see <a href="Web-interface.html#Web-interface">Web interface</a>).
