.I inheritance
for sections. If a section contains an assignment
.IP
-.BI "@inherits = " parent
+.BI "@inherit = " parent
.PP
then any lookups which can't be satisfied in that section will be
satisfied instead from the
blurb = expand $(detail)
.VE
Apart from its effect on lookups, as just described, the
-.B @inherits
+.B @inherit
key is entirely ignored. In particular, it is never written to the
database.

.hP \*o

contains an
-.B @inherits
+.B @inherit
key) are stored in the record using

Other sections are written to peer-type database records, named
