5 Hooke initializes a number of variables by reading configuration
11 Hooke uses Python's configparser_ library to read the config files.
12 The format is similar to MS Windows' INI (initialization) format::
18 .. _configparser: http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html
25 $ hooke --example-config-file
27 To print a well commented example config file to stdout.

33 The default search path follows the `Filesystem Hierarchy

35 The default path list is
37 * /usr/share/hooke/hooke.cfg
38 * /etc/hooke/hooke.cfg
41 but alternatives can be specified from the command line launching
