Dear Alan,
Thanks for the response.
If you could please answer the following 3 questions, it would be of great help:I am not able to understand these concepts.
	
	
	



1. What
is the role of configuration item linked list?
	
	
	



2. How
is the linked list and Red-Black trees associated with each other.3. How
the structures conf_item and conf_part are related to each other
	
	
	




struct
conf_item {
 
      struct
conf_item *next;
 
      struct
conf_part *parent;
 
      int
lineno;
 
      const
char *filename;
 
      CONF_ITEM_TYPE
type;
 
  };





struct
conf_part {
 
      CONF_ITEM
item;
 
      const
char *name1;
 
      const
char *name2;
 
      struct
conf_item *children;
 
      struct
conf_item *tail; /* for speed */
 
      CONF_SECTION
   *template;
 
      rbtree_t
       *pair_tree; /* and a partridge.. */
 
      rbtree_t
       *section_tree; /* no jokes here */
 
      rbtree_t
       *name2_tree; /* for sections of the same
name2 */
 
      rbtree_t
       *data_tree;
 
      void
           *base;
 
      int
depth;
 
      const
CONF_PARSER *variables;

};
Thanks in advance.Regards,Sonu

  Complicated.  We don't really have an architecture diagram.



  For detailed API docs, see http://doc.freeradius.org/



  As for the rest of your questions, they are both too vague and too

specific.  The main reason to ask questions is to solve a particular

problem.  You're asking a series of vague questions "how does it work",

along with detailed questions "why is it done this way".



  They're all nice questions, but they can usually be answered by

reading the source.  The code is VERY well commented.  I see no reason

to cut & paste those comments here.
