9  * @brief Types used to specify configurable options.
10  *
11  * This header defines the types that different modules will use in order to
12  * declare their configuration and state variables, and tell the configuration
13  * management code about those variables. From the individual module's point
14  * of view, its configuration and state are simply data structures.
15  *
16  * For defining new variable types, see var_type_def_st.h.
17  *
18  * For the code that manipulates variables defined via this module, see
19  * lib/confmgt/, especially typedvar.h and (later) structvar.h. The
20  * configuration manager is responsible for encoding, decoding, and
21  * maintaining the configuration structures used by the various modules.
22  *
23  * STATUS NOTE: This is a work in process refactoring. It is not yet possible
24  * for modules to define their own variables, and much of the configuration
25  * management code is still in src/app/config/.
