The parameters below describe the file itself.
- FILE_NAME
- Required. This specifies the name of the file. It should not
include the path, but does include the file type extension.
- FILE_FORMAT_VERSION
- Required. CEF Specification Version, as a text
string in syntax ``CEF-n.m'' to identify the cef version.
In this case ``CEF-2.0''.
- END_OF_RECORD_MARKER
- Required if data records are broken across
lines. This specifies the character to be used to indicate the end of each
data record. The default value is the new line character (
n).
Setting a different character allows long records to be split across lines with
new line characters for human readability and for software systems with maximum
line lengths. On read, all new line and carriage return characters together
with white space (including tabs) and the end of record marker are stripped
after the record is read. Neither the exclamation mark nor ampersand may be
used as end of record marker.
