How Content in Xorg.conf Sections is Associated

B

The X11 configuration file xorg.conf is used to configure the X Window System, which is a graphical interface for Unix-like operating systems. This file is grouped into sections, where each section contains configuration settings for a specific component of the X Window System. The content of a section is associated with that section by the section header, which identifies the section by name.

To answer the question, we need to determine how the content of the section named SectionName is associated with that section. Let's examine each answer option:

A. It is placed in curly brackets as in Section SectionName { ... }.

This is a valid syntax for defining a section in an X11 configuration file, but it does not indicate how the content of the section is associated with that section. The curly brackets simply enclose the content of the section.

B. It is placed between a line containing Section "SectionName" and a line containing EndSection.

This is the correct answer. In an X11 configuration file, a section is defined by a header that specifies the section name. The header is written as Section "SectionName", where SectionName is the name of the section. The content of the section is placed between the header and the closing statement EndSection, which marks the end of the section. For example:

rustCopy code
Section "InputDevice"     Identifier "Mouse"     Driver "mouse"     Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection 

C. It is placed between the tags <Section name="SectionName"> and </Section>

This is not a valid syntax for defining a section in an X11 configuration file. The <Section> tags are typically used in XML documents to define sections or elements, but they are not used in X11 configuration files.

D. It is placed after the row [SectionName].

This is not a valid syntax for defining a section in an X11 configuration file. The section header should be written as Section "SectionName", not [SectionName].

E. It is placed after an initial unindented Section "SectionName" and must be indented by exactly one tab character.

This is not a valid syntax for defining a section in an X11 configuration file. The content of the section should be indented by one or more spaces or tabs, but the section header should not be indented.

In summary, the correct answer to the question is B. The content of a section in an X11 configuration file is associated with that section by placing it between a line containing Section "SectionName" and a line containing EndSection.
