+# 0.2.0 - 080619
+#  support for scgi_port and scgi_local
+#  configurable via munin env variables
+#  initial release
+#
+#
+# Parameters:
+#
+#	config		required
+#
+#
+# Configurable variables
+#
+#	src		"socket" when using scgi_socket, or anything else when using scgi_port
+#	socket		rTorrent's rpc socket (scgi_local)	- using scgi_local	- needed, when "src" is set to "socket"
+#	ip		rTorrent's ip address			- using scgi_port	- needed, when "src" is NOT set to "socket"
+#	port		rTorrent's scgi port (scgi_port)	- using scgi_port	- needed, when "src" is NOT set to "socket"
+#
+#
+# Configuration example
+#
+#	[rtom_peers]
+#	user username
+#	env.src socket
+#	env.socket /home/usernametorrent/.socket/rpc.socket
