NAME

6       genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
7

DESCRIPTION

9       genisoimage(1)  searches for a configuration file in several places; it
10       uses the first one it is able to open.   First,  if  the  GENISOIMAGERC
11       environment  variable  is set, its value is used as the filename; like‐
12       wise for the MKISOFSRC environment variable.  Next,  genisoimage  looks
13       for  files  named  .genisoimagerc  or  .mkisofsrc, first in the current
14       working directory, then in the user's home directory.  Next,  it  looks
15       for  /etc/genisoimagerc.  Finally, it looks for a .genisoimagerc in the
16       same directory as genisoimage itself is stored.
17
18       The .genisoimagerc file contains lines of the form
19
20              TAG=value
21
22       where TAG is one of the settings defined below.  The case of the tag is
23       not  significant.   All  settings have command-line equivalents; if the
24       command-line parameter is specified, it takes priority over the config‐
25       uration file.
26
27       Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.
