<h1>Anchors</h1>

You can also add anchors to the pathod server that serve a fixed response
whenever a matching URL is requested:</p>
<p>Anchors provide an alternative to specifying the response in the URL.
Instead, you attach a response to a pre-configured anchor point, specified with
a regex. When a URL matching the regex is requested, the specified response is
served.</p>
<pre class="terminal">./pathod -a "/foo=200"</pre>
<p>Here, "/foo" a regex specifying the anchor path, and the part after the "=" is

<p>There are two operators in the <a href="/docs/language">language</a> that
load contents from file - the <b>+</b> operator to load an entire request
specification from file, and the <b>&gt;</b> value specifier. In pathod, both
of these operators are restricted to a directory specified at startup, or
disabled if no directory is specified:</p>
