Translation of "Protokolldirektive" into English

Information that precedes the log entries in a log file, which defines the information and format contained in each log entry. Each directive in the log file begins with the # character. The directives Version (#Version) and Fields (#Fields) are required. The Version directive defines the version of the W3C Extended Log Format that is used, and the Fields directive specifies the data recorded in the log fields of each entry.
