seadistusfail

A seadistusfail, which translates from Estonian as "settings file," is a common term used in software development and system administration to refer to a configuration file. This file contains parameters and settings that control the behavior and operation of a program, application, or system. Instead of hardcoding preferences directly into the source code, seadistusfail allows for flexibility and customization without requiring code modifications.

These files can exist in various formats, such as plain text, JSON, XML, YAML, or INI files. The specific format often depends on the programming language used for the software or the conventions of the operating system. Common information stored in a seadistusfail includes database connection details, user interface preferences, network settings, feature flags, and operational parameters.

The primary benefit of using a seadistusfail is modularity and ease of management. Administrators and users can modify these files to adjust the software's performance, security, or functionality to suit their specific needs. This separation of configuration from code simplifies updates and maintenance, as changes to settings do not require recompiling the application. It also aids in deploying the same software across different environments by simply providing different seadistusfail files for each.
