You know, I normally encourage people to ask whatever questions they feel are important to them on these forums, and, if I'm able, I tend to answer "the easy ones" around here.
In the spirit of not making "worthless posts" I am going to point you to _the documents you need to read and definitely should have looked up_ prior to posting such a
basic question. And _I specifically encourage
you_ to use the forums for answers you
can't find so bloody easily.... You're lucky I'm not one of those one-line response, "read the docs" people, because I doubt many people here have the patience to answer this type of question.
