genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
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.
