6 genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
7
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

25 uration file.
