# OAI configuration module
The configuration module provides an api that other oai components can use to get parameters at init time. It defines a parameter structure, used to describe parameters attributes (for example name and type). The same structure includes a pointer to the variable where the configuration module writes the parameter value, at run time, when calling config_get or config_getlist functions. For each parameter a function to check the value can be specified and pre-defined functions are provided for some common parameter validations (integer in a range or in a list, string in a list). The module also include a mechanism to check that no unknown options have been entered on the command line

configmodule_interface_t *load_configmodule(int argc, char **argv)
configmodule_interface_t *load_configmodule(int argc, char **argv, uint32_t initflags)
```
* Parses the command line options, looking for the –O argument
* Loads the `libparams_<configsource>.so` (today `libparams_libconfig.so`) shared library
* Looks for `config_<config source>_init` symbol and calls it , passing it an array of string corresponding to the « : » separated strings used in the –O option
* Looks for `config_<config source>_get`, `config_<config source>_getlist` and `config_<config source>_end` symbols which are the three functions a configuration library should implement. Get and getlist are mandatory, end is optional.
* Stores all the necessary information in a `configmodule_interface_t structure`, which is of no use for caller as long as we only use one configuration source.
* if the bit CONFIG_ENABLECMDLINEONLY is set in `initflags` then the module allows parameters to be set only via the command line. This is used for the oai UE.

To get help on supported parameters you can use specific options:
* ---help: print help for command line only parameters and for parameters not defined in a specific section

For the lte-softmodem (the eNodeB) The config source parameter defaults to libconfig, preserving the initial -O option format. In this case you cannot specify the debug level.
