"*." prefixes init.ora parms???

Hello, all.



I've been through Oracle docs on tahiti.oracle.com and I could not find the 
answer to this question.



A vendor-supplied software package came with its own init.ora file in which 
every parm is prefixed with star-dot in column 1, such as '*.db_files = 
200', without the quotes, of course.



What is the star-dot doing here, since Oracle started up just fine with it.



Many thanks!..
