= Configuration (trac.ini) API =
Most of Trac's configuration is stored in the [TracIni trac.ini] file. Trac provides an API to retrieve and set the settings in this configuration file.

For the sake of this article, here's a quick reminder of the structure of `trac.ini`:

{{{
[wiki]   ; <= section
ignore_missing_pages = false  ; <= option with option value
max_size = 262144
render_unsafe_content = false
}}}

The file consists of multiple ''sections'' (written as `[sectionname]`). Each section consists of multiple ''options'' with their ''option values'' (like `ignore_missing_pages = false` in the example above). All options that come after the beginning of a section belong to this section - until a new section begins.
