TP used "config-page.txt" for the name of the config file, but you can name it any way you like. A config file is a file of control parameters used for tweaking Tesseract. You can find some e.g. in the "tessdata/configs" directory, but also you can create your own.
As for existence and effects of specific parameters, currently I don't any other way to find it out but digging in Tesseract's code. There's also an ancient documentation at http://tesseract-ocr.repairfaq.org/tess_variables_all.html but one needs to explore if some parameter is still valid and the descriptions are often obscure.
