The new pseudo-variables ".FILE", ".LINE" and ".SECTION" will be resolved on the fly by the config parser and will respectively retrieve the current configuration file name, the current line number and the current section being parsed. This may help emit logs, errors, and debugging information (e.g. which rule matched). The '.' in the first char was reserved for such pseudo-variables and no other variable is permitted. This will allow to add support for new ones in the future if they prove to be useful (e.g. randoms/uuid for secret keying or automatic naming of configuration objects).
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
