6 megarc - Configuration file for megatools
7
9 ~/.megarc
10 ./.megarc
11
13 Megatools use INI configuration file to store commonly used login cre‐
14 dentials. This makes it less bothersome to use the tools, as you can
15 simply write
16 $ megatools df
18 instead of
20 $ megatools df --username my@email.com --password mypass
22 when using the tools.
24 Configuration file is read either from the current directory or user’s
26 home directory. Exceptions are when --ignore-config-file was passed to
27 the tool, or when explicit path to the config file was given via --con‐
28 fig <path>.
29
31 All sections are optional. All names are case sensitive, thus you must
32 write [Login], and not [login], and so on.
33 LOGIN SECTION
35 Username
36 Your username.
37 Password
39 Your password. Be aware that back slashes have special meaning.
40 If you have back slash in your password, you must escape it with
41 another backslash. For example: my\nice\password would be writ‐
42 ten as my\\nice\\password in the config file.

60 no limit.
