25 on a line with a directive by starting the comment with a #. The remainder of
27 Keywords are case insensitive, i.e. auth and Auth are treated the same.

29 some of which have a multiplier effect:
39 Some number of bytes per second.
41 k kb kbyte kbytes kilobyte kilobytes

47 m mb meg mbyte mbytes megabyte megabytes
48 Some number of megabytes (bytes*1024*1024).
51 Some number of megabytes per second (bytes*1024*1024).
53 g gb gbyte gbytes gigabyte gigabytes
