Bug Description

It's extraordinarily hard to figure out how configuration files need to look like. This should be improved by referencing the format (section in the manpage, link to web resource, etc.) in the `--config=FILE` section of the manpage.

This bug can be closed.

In OPTIONS where --config is described, it clearly states:

  (...) See section CONFIGURATION FILE for more information how to write the
  files.

And in section "CONFIGURATION FILE" there is complete exaple of the configuration file.
