A config file format for humans.

TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages.

edn is an extensible data notation. A superset of edn is used by Clojure to represent programs, and it is used by Datomic and other applications as a data transfer format. This spec describes edn in isolation from those and other specific use cases, to help facilitate implementation of readers and writers in other languages, and for other uses.

An addr-spec is a specific Internet identifier that contains a
locally interpreted string followed by the at-sign character ("@",
ASCII value 64) followed by an Internet domain. The locally
interpreted string is either a quoted-string or a dot-atom. If the
string can be represented as a dot-atom (that is, it contains no
characters other than atext characters or "." surrounded by atext
characters), then the dot-atom form SHOULD be used and the quoted-
string form SHOULD NOT be used. Comments and folding white space
SHOULD NOT be used around the "@" in the addr-spec.

The Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF) is a log format that avoids the shortcomings of classic plain syslog:

• Limited to length of 1024 bytes. Inadequate space for payloads like backtraces.
• No data types in structured syslog. Numbers and strings are indistinguishable.
• The RFCs are strict enough, but there are so many syslog dialects out there that you cannot possibly parse all of them.
• No compression.

Syslog is sufficient for logging system messages of machines or network gear, while GELF is a strong choice for logging from within applications. There are libraries and appenders for many programming languages and logging frameworks, so it is easy to implement. GELF can send every exception as a log message to your Graylog cluster without complications from timeouts, connection problems, or anything that may break your application from within your logging class because GELF can be sent via UDP.

FreeCAD, a Free and Open-Source (FOSS) 3D CAD modeling platform, offers BIM tools since many years with the Arch workbench. Starting from version 1.0, released in November 2024, the Arch tools have been extended and renamed to become the BIM workbench, and extended with a new native IFC system. This tutorial will walk you through the different concepts used in native IFC, and how to apply them working on an example model.

There are several different docstring formats which one can use in order to enable Sphinx’s autodoc extension to automatically generate documentation. For this tutorial we will use the Sphinx format, since, as the name suggests, it is the standard format used with Sphinx. Other formats include Google (see here) and NumPy (see here), but they require the use of Sphinx’s napoleon extension, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

There are two types of formats that YAML supports for strings: block scalar and flow scalar formats. (Scalars are what YAML calls basic values like numbers or strings, as opposed to complex types like arrays or objects.) Block scalars have more control over how they are interpreted, whereas flow scalars have more limited escaping support.

I was in Prague last month for the 2017 edition of the KVM Forum. There I gave a talk about some of the work that I’ve been doing this year to improve the qcow2 file format used by QEMU for storing disk images. The focus of my work is to make qcow2 faster and to reduce its memory requirements.

So far, there are 1,082 pages in the MultimediaWiki. We would appreciate any knowledge you can contribute, for that is what the Wiki concept is all about. If you need help deciding what to write about, check the wanted pages for ideas.

Note that, due to spam and vandalism, you must have an account to edit this Wiki. Further -- again due to excessive automated spam and vandalism -- we have had to close general registration. If you would like to contribute, please contact Multimedia Mike for registration.
