NAME
genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage
DESCRIPTION
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 users 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 | |
Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.
