        If a configuration value is not defined in a
        :ref:`configuration file <configfiles>`, then the ``default`` value
        provided while registering the configuration through
        :func:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` will be returned.
        Please note that you can even provide ``None`` as a valid
        default value.

        If ``default`` is not provided while registering using
        :func:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>`, then a default value
        based on the ``type`` parameter passed to
        :func:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` will be returned.
        The default values based on ``type`` are:
        ``paths``, ``pathlist``, ``args`` and ``linelist`` : empty list ``[]``
        ``bool`` : ``False``
        ``string`` : empty string ``class="st">""``
        ``int`` : ``0``
        ``float`` : ``0.0``

        If neither the ``default`` nor the ``type`` parameter is passed
        while registering the configuration through
        :func:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>`, then the configuration
        is treated as a string and a default empty string &class="cm">#x27;' is returned.

        If the specified name hasn&class="cm">#x27;t been registered through a prior
        :func:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` call (usually from a
        plugin), a ValueError is raised.
