#### 3.2.1.1 Comments ¶

Comments may appear anywhere where white space may appear in the configuration file. There are two kinds of comments: single-line and multi-line comments. Single-line comments start with ‘`#`’ or ‘`//`’ and continue to the end of the line:

    # This is a comment
    // This too is a comment

Multi-line or C-style comments start with the two characters ‘`/*`’ (slash, star) and continue until the first occurrence of ‘`*/`’ (star, slash).

Multi-line comments cannot be nested. However, single-line comments may well appear within multi-line ones.
