.ddtcrc - ddtc script configuration file.
Contents
Description
This is the configuration file for ddtc. If it exists, it must be at the top of your home directory
($HOME). This file is optional unless you don't want to use default values.
Lines beginning with a number sign (`#') and empty lines will be ignored. Spaces at the beginning and
the end of a line will also be ignored as well as tabulators. If you need spaces at the end or the
beginning of a value you can use apostrophes (`"'). An option line starts with it's name followed by a
value. An equal sign is optional. A comment starts with the number sign, there can be any number of
spaces and/or tab stops in front of the #. Some possible examples:
# this line is ignored
option value
option = value # this is a comment
option "value ending with space "
You have to escape number signs with a backslash (`\') to use it in a value.
Default values are provided into square brackets, they should be suitable for most installations.
You can use the configuration menu from interactive mode to edit it.
