# .tlv file generated by https://github.com/akkartik/teliva # You may edit it if you are careful; however, you may see cryptic errors if you # violate Teliva's assumptions. # # .tlv files are representations of Teliva programs. Teliva programs consist of # sequences of definitions. Each definition is a table of key/value pairs. Keys # and values are both strings. # # Lines in .tlv files always follow exactly one of the following forms: # - comment lines at the top of the file starting with '#' at column 0 # - beginnings of definitions starting with '- ' at column 0, followed by a # key/value pair # - key/value pairs consisting of ' ' at column 0, containing either a # spaceless value on the same line, or a multi-line value # - multiline values indented by more than 2 spaces, starting with a '>' # # If these constraints are violated, Teliva may unceremoniously crash.
