+4.5 What is the format of the configuration file?
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+pylint uses ConfigParser from the standard library to parse the configuration file.
+It means that if you need to disable a lot of messages, you can use tricks like: ::
+
+ disable= W0401, # because I do not want it
+ E0202, # I have a good reason, trust me
+ C0302 # that's it
