17 This function looks in all the specified directories for a configura‐
18 tion file ("rc" file or "ini" file) and processes any found twice. The
19 first time through, they are processed in reverse order (last file
20 first). At that time, only "immediate action" configurables are pro‐
21 cessed. For example, if the last named file specifies not processing
22 any more configuration files, then no more configuration files will be
23 processed. Such an option in the first named directory will have no
24 effect.
25
26 Once the immediate action configurables have been handled, then the
27 directories are handled in normal, forward order. In that way, later
28 config files can override the settings of earlier config files.

30 See the AutoOpts documentation for a thorough discussion of the config
31 file format.

33 Configuration files not found or not decipherable are simply ignored.
