This chapter describes the settings available in the
<code class="filename">recovery.conf</code><a id="id-1.6.14.3.2" class="indexterm"></a>
file. They apply only for the duration of the
recovery. They must be reset for any subsequent recovery you wish to
perform. They cannot be changed once recovery has begun.
</p><p>
Settings in <code class="filename">recovery.conf</code> are specified in the format
<code class="literal">name = 'value'</code>. One parameter is specified per line.
Hash marks (<code class="literal">#</code>) designate the rest of the
line as a comment. To embed a single quote in a parameter
value, write two quotes (<code class="literal">''</code>).
</p><p>
A sample file, <code class="filename">share/recovery.conf.sample</code>,
is provided in the installation's <code class="filename">share/</code> directory.
