Configuring Hydranode

The only configuration file that is user-editable is config.ini, located in at config/ subdir from the executable on Windows, and in $(HOME)/.hydranode/ location on UNIX-like platforms. The values are grouped into sections, usually a section per module. Top-level keys are located in section [].

Notice: All keys are case-sensitive.
Notice: [boolean] types expect integer values 0 (false) or 1 (true). The words false and true cannot be used currently.
Info: When setting values via hnsh interface, you must pass the path of the key as well, e.g. config set /ed2k/Nick SantaClaus?.
