NAME

       tlog-play.conf - tlog-play configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       tlog-play.conf is a JSON-format configuration file for tlog-play program.  Contrary to the
       strict JSON specification, both C and C++ style comments are allowed in the file.

       The file must contain a single JSON object with the objects and  fields  described  below.
       Some  of  them are optional and assume a default value.  Those that do require a value can
       still be omitted and specified to tlog-play via command-line options.

              needs to be configured using its own dedicated parameters.
