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.

38 * :file:`/etc/hooke/hooke.cfg`
39 * :file:`~/.hooke.cfg`
40 * :file:`./.hooke.cfg`
42 but alternatives can be specified from the command line launching
