It's left to the imagination what 'dnsmasq.conf.example'
exemplifies; it's wholly comments, and '/etc/dnsmasq.conf' already has
the same comments.
On a new installation, dnsmasq.conf.example and /etc/dnsmasq.conf are
the same, but once you change /etc/dnsmasq.conf, the package system will
no longer change it, so the example file provides access to any
additions in later releases. It comes from the upstream distro, and
attempts to document how to do most common things.
Cheers,

I was searching for specific examples, e.g.: a config file for 'eth0'
to serve DHCP, etc., with which to compare my non-working DHCP, but
no luck. (Trial & error can be difficult given such a feature rich
config file.)
Some minimal examples would be good, with few or no comments for
simplicity. These might include settings for: DNS & DHCP on, one on
with the other off, etc.
To help generate such examples, here's a shell function that filters
out comments and spaces:
nocomment () { grep -v -e '^#.*$\|^[[:space:]]*$' $1 ; }
My system, borked DHCP & all, approximately:
% nocomment < /etc/dnsmasq.conf
domain-needed
bogus-priv
resolv-file=/etc/ppp/resolv.conf
interface=eth0
bind-interfaces
expand-hosts
domain=foo.org
dhcp-range=192.168.1.50,192.168.1.99,12h
dhcp-host=00:04:75:A1:4C:D9,knoppix.foo.org,box.foo.org
dhcp-authoritative
Hope this helps...
