+## petrified configuration file
+#
+# This is the configuration for petrified - a client for updaing dynamic
+# DNS at freedns.afraid.org. The global /etc/petrified.conf variables can
+# be overridden on a per-user basis via ~/.petrifiedrc as well.
+#
+# Passing '-c <config>' on the commandline will read *only* the named
+# config file, ignoring /etc/petrified.conf and ~/.petrifiedrc entirely.
+# For best security of the DDNS_KEY, ensure the config file is mode 0600
+# and owned by the user in question.
+#
+# See petrified.crontab for examples on how to run via cron/fcron.
+
+
+# This is the unique key for the dynamic DNS entry to update; visit:
+#   https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/    (v1 API) or
+#   https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/v2/ (v2 API)
+# Next to the DNS entries towards the bottom is a link to afraid.org;
+# copy that and extract the string and put here, this is your API key.
+#
+# Example v1: DDNS_KEY=9C4yjq3kaekkYNbYsKRqcosTmouMYbfVMLkJtR==
+# Example v2: DDNS_KEY=ZIfSWnXKuDqMpNEsTXBA852
+DDNS_KEY=
+
+# The migration from API v1 to API v2 requires the user to visit the
+# website and click a few buttons to generate a new API key for each
+# domain; the API v1 length is variable but API v2 is a fixed length
+# at 24 chars. This setting will try and autodetect the API version by
+# the length of DDNS_KEY - if 24, use v2 else use v1.
+# 0 = auto
+# 1 = force API v1
+# 2 = force API v2
+DDNS_API=0

+# Which URL to use to get an IP - the expectation is output from this
