+"""Utilities for discovering and parsing Nginx configuration files.
+
+This module provides helper functions to locate Nginx configuration files and
+extract key details from ``server`` blocks.  Typical usage::
+
+    from scripts.nginx_config import discover_configs, parse_servers
+
+    files = discover_configs()
+    servers = parse_servers(files)
+    for s in servers:
+        print(s.get("server_name"), s.get("listen"))
+
+The functions intentionally tolerate missing or unreadable files and will simply
+skip over them.
