# This is a configuration file for the BRLTTY application.
# Uncomment those entries which apply to your personal needs and system
# requirements.
# BRLTTY expects to find its configuration file in "/etc/brltty.conf"
# (can be overridden with the -f [--configuration-file=] option).
# If it doesn't exist, then BRLTTY silently continues but may require
# that certain command line options be explicitly supplied.
# Blank lines are ignored. The character '#', anywhere on a line,
# initiates a comment; all characters from it to the end of that line
# are ignored.
# Each configuration entry consists of a keyword followed by its operand.
# An arbitrary amount of white space, (blanks and/or tabs), may occur
# before the keyword, as well as before and after the operand. Keyword
# processing is not case sensitive. Examples of valid entries are:
#
# Braille-Driver pm # Papenmeier braille displays.
# braille-device ttyS0 # The first Linux serial device.
# SPEECH-DRIVER fv # The Festival Text to Speech System.
# The default settings given within the following descriptions assume no
# special build options (see "./configure --help" in the top-level
# directory of the source tree.
