What language is used in apache files?

Question

What is the name of the language used in apache files like httpd.conf and virtual hosts e.g.

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example1"
    ServerName www.example.com

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

Answer 1

Probably greatest highlighting setups for IDE (if you mean that purpose) are:

• Tcl for .conf files
• Lisp for .ini files

Answer 2

The official documentation refers to them as "httpd configuration file" or just "configuration file". I don't think there is a more specific name than that.
