File Metadata

The parameters below describe the file itself.

FILE_NAME
Required. This specifies the name of the file. It should not include the path, but does include the file type extension.
FILE_FORMAT_VERSION
Required. CEF Specification Version, as a text string in syntax ``CEF-n.m'' to identify the cef version. In this case ``CEF-2.0''.
END_OF_RECORD_MARKER
Required if data records are broken across lines. This specifies the character to be used to indicate the end of each data record. The default value is the new line character ($\backslash$n). Setting a different character allows long records to be split across lines with new line characters for human readability and for software systems with maximum line lengths. On read, all new line and carriage return characters together with white space (including tabs) and the end of record marker are stripped after the record is read. Neither the exclamation mark nor ampersand may be used as end of record marker.
