62 rectories. If the last DIR in the list starts with ~/, use it
63 instead of ~/.polymake to keep the private settings. The de‐
64 fault is "user", using only the private configuration located at
65 $POLYMAKE_USER_DIR or ~/.polymake.
66
67 --no-config
68 Equivalent to --config-path=none. Don't read any configuration
69 files. Don't try to configure rules automatically. Don't load
70 rule files requiring auto-configuration.

74 tion files. Skip auto-configuration routines in the rule files.
