genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
genisoimage(1) searches for a configuration file in several
places; it uses the first one it is able to open. First, if the
GENISOIMAGERC environment variable is set, its value is used as the
filename; likewise for the MKISOFSRC environment variable. Next,
genisoimage looks for files named .genisoimagerc or
.mkisofsrc, first in the current working directory, then in the
user's home directory. Next, it looks for /etc/genisoimagerc.
Finally, it looks for a .genisoimagerc in the same directory as
genisoimage itself is stored.
The .genisoimagerc file contains lines of the form
- TAG=value
where TAG is one of the settings defined below. The case of
the tag is not significant. All settings have command-line equivalents; if
the command-line parameter is specified, it takes priority over the
configuration file.
Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.
