Since this file is not much computed currently (it's mostly useful for configuration tools), we can break the format without worrying much.<br>

Sounds good to me.<br>

We might want to take this opportunity to define a "version=2" header of some sort, so that in the future, the tools will immediately know whether or not they are compatible. (At some point, we might want to move to a key-value format, especially if the information gets too sparse because of differences between PDUs and UPSes.)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>good idea. I only added a few information in the header, including @PACKAGE_VERSION@<br>but the version compat is more obvious. I've attached the current draft header for info.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Do any Linux distributions do any processing based on that file?<br>
