Content:

# HTTP link of the glpi server:
url=http://adress.example.subdomain.domain/glpi

# N/B: You can also use IP address. Do not forget the /glpi at the end of the link 
# example: http://192.168.1.55/glpi

# User token to authenticate to RestAPI:
user_token=VOTRE_TOKEN

# And the application one:
app_token=TOKEN_APPLICATION

[Object-Type]

Content:

# Device type you want to remove:
device=Computer

# N/B: Type that exists by default: Computer, Monitor, NetworkEquipment, Peripheral, Phone, Printer, Software

Optionals:

[Options]

---

Content:

# If you want to remove the trashbin items, 0 is default and 1 means deleted ones.
is_deleted=0

# By default the program will iterate through a default range of items: 0-10000 (0 to 10000).
# You can specify a specific number of items as needed.
# This option can't exceed the max_range option.
# example: 42-4577
items_range=0-10000

# The option below will determinate the maximum range the wiper will act. 
# Do NOT forget that it will goes from the end of the range like:
# If you have items_range=0-4577 it will remove first the 4577 lasts items from the base.
# This option can't exceed 999999 items and can be further from the items_range option.
max_range=

# BEWARE the last option can be dangerous if you're not carefull when using it.
# It's needed when you remove items from the trashbin. BUT, if you use it on a range of items that are not already in the trashbin, it will erase all of them from the base. USE WITH CAUTION.
# Default value is False (True will activate it)
wipe=False

Configuration example with all options:
