genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage

R 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 .genisoimagercin the same directory as

genisoimage itself is stored.

The .genisoimagercfile 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.
