### File
Based on the Memory engine, but provides additional methods `.save()` and `.load()` which allow you to read your configuration to and from file. As with the Memory store, all method calls are synchronous with the exception of `.save()` and `.load()` which take callback functions. It is important to note that setting keys in the File engine will not be persisted to disk until a call to `.save()` is made.

The file store is also extensible for multiple file formats, defaulting to `JSON`. To use a custom format, simply pass a format object to the `.use()` method. This object must have `.parse()` and `.stringify()` methods just like the native `JSON` object.
### Redis
The Redis engine will persist all of your configuration settings to a Redis server. All calls to `.get()`, `.set()`, `.clear()`, `.reset()` are asynchronous taking an additional callback parameter.
There is a separate Redis-based store available through [nconf-redis][0]. To install and use this store simply:
``` js
nconf.use('redis', { host: 'localhost', port: 6379, ttl: 60 * 60 * 1000 });
``` bash
$ [sudo] npm install nconf
$ [sudo] npm install nconf-redis
```
The Redis engine also has an in-memory cache with a default TTL of one hour. To change this, just pass the `ttl` option to `.use()`.
Once installing both `nconf` and `nconf-redis`, you must require both modules to use the Redis store:
``` js
var nconf = require('nconf');
//
// Requiring `nconf-redis` will extend the `nconf`
// module.
//
require('nconf-redis');
nconf.use('redis', { host: 'localhost', port: 6379, ttl: 60 * 60 * 1000 });
```
## More Documentation
There is more documentation available through docco. I haven't gotten around to making a gh-pages branch so in the meantime if you clone the repository you can view the docs:
