Spec File

The specification file contains a list of the files that characterize a network. Each line specifying a file location should be in the format, keyword=filename, where keyword is the file type name and filename is the file path (either absolute or relative to the path specified in the datadir variable). Note that both keyword and filename are case-sensitive. Following are a list of keywords.
