NAME
genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
DESCRIPTION
genisoimage(1)
searches for a configuration file in several places; it uses the first
one it is able to open. First, if the
GENISOIMAGERC
environment variable is set, its value is used as the filename;
likewise for the
MKISOFSRC
environment variable. Next,
genisoimage
looks for files named
.genisoimagerc or
.mkisofsrc,
first in the current working directory, then in the user's home
directory. Next, it looks for
/etc/genisoimagerc.
Finally, it looks for a
.genisoimagerc
in the same directory as
genisoimage
itself is stored.
The
.genisoimagerc
file contains lines of the form
-
TAG=value
where
TAG
is one of the settings defined below. The case of the tag is not
significant. All settings have command-line equivalents; if the
command-line parameter is specified, it takes priority over the
configuration file.
Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.
