This syntax is extremely directive-specific, - and is described in detail in the directive's definition. - Generally, the directive name is followed by a series of one or - more arguments. Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets. - Where an argument can take on more than one possible value, possible - values are separated by a vertical bar. Literal text is presented - in the default font, while argument-types for which substitution - is necessary are emphasized.

It's a comma-separated list of one or more of the following - values: - </P> - <DL> - <DT><STRONG>server config</STRONG> - </DT> - <DD>This means that the directive may be used in the server - configuration files (<EM>e.g.</EM>, <SAMP>httpd.conf</SAMP>, - <SAMP>srm.conf</SAMP>, and <SAMP>access.conf</SAMP>), but - <STRONG>not</STRONG> within any <SAMP><VirtualHost></SAMP> or - <Directory> containers.

Possible values for this attribute - are: - </P> - <DL> - <DT><STRONG>Core</STRONG> - </DT> - <DD>If a directive is listed as having "Core" status, that - means it is part of the innermost portions of the Apache Web server, - and is always available. - <P> - </P> - </DD> - <DT><STRONG>MPM</STRONG> - </DT> - <DD>A directive labeled as having "MPM" status is - provided by a <a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. - This type of directive will be available if and only if you are - using one of the MPMs lised on the <a href="#Module">Module</a> - line of the directive definition. - <P> - </P> - </DD> - <DT><STRONG>Base</STRONG> - </DT> - <DD>A directive labeled as having "Base" status is - supported by one of the standard Apache modules which is compiled - into the server by default, and is therefore normally available - unless you've taken steps to remove the module from your configuration. - <P> - </P> - </DD> - <DT><STRONG>Extension</STRONG> - </DT> - <DD>A directive with "Extension" status is provided by one - of the modules included with the Apache server kit, but the module - isn't normally compiled into the server.
