+DEFINING APPLICATIONS
+
+An application is defined in &amconf; as follows:
+
+
+define application-tool $appconfigname {
+ plugin "$pluginname"
+ property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
+ ...
+}
+
+and then referenced in a dumptype as
+
+define dumptype $dumptypename {
+ ...
+ program "APPLICATION"
+ application "$appconfigname"
+}
+
+
+Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are
+insensitive to case, and - (dash) and
+_ (underscore) may be used interchangeably.
+
+See the individual plugin documentation for properties applicable to each
+plugin.
