GENISOIMAGERC(5)
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.
