.Nm /etc/inadyn.conf

.Nm inadyn
can read the very same command line options from a configuration file. This
feature allows the user to write the options only once, and avoids frequent
retyping.

The format of the file follows the UN*X tradition:
.Bl -bullet -offset abcd
.It
The
.Dq #\&
character denotes a comment.

Long options (those with
.Dq \-\-
in front) can also be placed at the 
beginning of the line without
.Dq \-\-
signs.
.It
The \\ character can be used as an escape character.
