NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       ~/.config/aa/aa.conf
10       /etc/aa/aa.conf

FILE FORMAT

14       There are two configuration files for AutoArchive -- system- and user-.
15       System configuration file's location is: "/etc/aa/aa.conf".  User  con‐
16       figuration  file's  location  is  by  default:  "~/.config/aa/aa.conf".
17       Options in the user file have higher priority.  Note that some  options
18       can  only  be specified in the system file (see the list of the options
19       below).
20
21       Structure is similar to the archive specification file --  options  are
22       divided into sections.  A section begins with the section name enclosed
23       in square brackets.  Sections contains variables which  represents  the
24       options.
25
26       Variables are written in the option-name = value form, one variable per
27       line.  Boolean values are written as yes  and  no.   For  path  values,
28       tilde  (~)  is  expanded to the user's home.  Form option-name = can be
29       used to specify a variable with undefined value.
30
31       Lines beginning with # or ; are ignored and may be used for comments.
32
33       Two sections are valid: [General] and  [Archive].   Both  are  optional
34       although  a configuration file without any section at all is considered
35       invalid.
36
37   Section [General]
38       Contains configuration options for the program  itself,  which  do  not
39       alter the backup creation.
40
41       Options valid in the [General] section:
42
43          · verbose
44
45          · quiet
46
47          · archive-specs-dir
48

52
53          · user-config-dir
54
55            This option can not be specified in the user configuration file.
