2.5. AutoVariable *global*

Specifies directives which should be translated to Variable settings. For scalars, the directive name becomes the Variable name and yields its value, i.e. ErrorFile becomes __ErrorFile__, which would by default be error.log. Array variables have a _N added, where _N is the ordinal index, i.e. SafeUntrap becomes __SafeUntrap_0__, __SafeUntrap_1__, etc. Hash variables have a _KEY added, i.e. SysLog becomes __SysLog_command__, __SysLog_facility__, etc. Doesn't handle hash keys that have non-word characters or whitespace. Only single-level arrays and hashes are translated properly.

See AutoVariable in catalog.cfg.
