Description
The Libipmiconsole configuration file can be used to set alternate default values for the libipmiconsole
library. The configuration of these defaults may be useful for environments in which programs link to
libipmiconsole but do not support configuration of libipmiconsole parameters. Users should be ware that
setting alternate default values into libipmiconsole will affect all tools that link to the library, such
as the ipmiconsole(8) tool. For users wishing to set alternate defaults to ipmiconsole(8) please use the
freeipmi.conf(5) file instead.
The configuration file is stored at /etc/freeipmi//libipmiconsole.conf.

Format
The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file are listed below. Each
configuration option must be listed on a separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any
amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Comments can be marked by
using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").
