<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
237
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly

If this option is not specified, the <option

is in an external file. The contents of the file should
258
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but will be
259
sent to clients verbatim.
262
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be

present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

<term><literal>host</literal></term>

<synopsis><literal>host = </literal><replaceable

directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the

percent characters in a row (<quote>%%%%</quote>) must be

330
entered. Also, a bad format here will lead to an immediate

mode is needed to expose an error of this kind.
