Each backend basically does it own thing. There is nothing that tries to impose any kind of "standard". Some backends use it to tweak their device detection routines, other to set some defauls and some do a bit of both. Your best bet is the sane-BE manual page for each BE backend. Next best are the comments in the BE.conf file, if any. # In the sources, you can find them as backend/BE.conf.in.
