Module
This attribute identifies the module the directive is associated with.
Syntax
This attribute indicates the format of the directive as it would appear in a configuration file. This syntax is directive-specific, so refer to the text of the directive's other attributes for details. Strings should be quoted. The string ("word1 word2") contains spaces. If the strings do not contain spaces they do not need to be quoted.
Default
This attribute specifies if the directive has a default value. For example, if you omit the directive from your configuration entirely, HTTP Server will behave as though you set it to a particular value. If there is no default value, this attribute says "none".
Context
This attribute indicates where in the server's configuration the directive is supported. It's a comma-separated list of one or more of the following values:
Override
This attribute indicates which configuration override must be active in order for the directive to be processed when it appears in a .htaccess file. If the directive's context does not permit it to appear in .htaccess files, this attribute is none.
Origin
This attribute reveals the origin of an HTTP directive. Possible values for this attribute include:
Usage Considerations
This attribute specifies if important usage considerations such as a LoadModule are required in the server configuration file prior to using the directive. If this attribute is not available, the directive does not require any usage considerations.
Example
This attribute specifies at least one example for directives that take a file path name as an argument. It will include both a root example and a QSYS.LIB example, if both apply.
