+/**
+ * @file
+ * Configuration file for Drupal's multi-site directory aliasing feature.
+ *
+ * Drupal searches for an appropriate configuration directory based on the
+ * website's hostname and pathname. A detailed description of the rules for
+ * discovering the configuration directory can be found in the comment
+ * documentation in 'sites/default/default.settings.php'.
+ *
+ * This file allows you to define a set of aliases that map hostnames and
+ * pathnames to configuration directories. These aliases are loaded prior to
+ * scanning for directories, and they are exempt from the normal discovery
+ * rules. The aliases are defined in an associative array named $sites, which
+ * should look similar to the following:
+ *
+ * $sites = array(
+ *   'devexample.com' => 'example.com',
+ *   'localhost/example' => 'example.com',
+ * );
+ *
+ * The above array will cause Drupal to look for a directory named
+ * "example.com" in the sites directory whenever a request comes from
+ * "example.com", "devexample.com", or "localhost/example". That is useful
+ * on development servers, where the domain name may not be the same as the
+ * domain of the live server. Since Drupal stores file paths into the database
+ * (files, system table, etc.) this will ensure the paths are correct while
+ * accessed on development servers.
+ *
+ * To use this file, copy and rename it such that its path plus filename is
+ * 'sites/sites.php'. If you don't need to use multi-site directory aliasing,
+ * then you can safely ignore this file, and Drupal will ignore it too.
