***************** Configuring Hooke ***************** Hooke initializes a number of variables by reading configuration files. Syntax ------ Hooke uses Python's configparser_ library to read the config files. The format is similar to MS Windows' INI (initialization) format:: [My Section] foo = bar baz = 5 .. _configparser: http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html Examples -------- Run:: $ hooke --example-config-file To print a well commented example config file to stdout. Finding configuration files --------------------------- The default search path follows the `Filesystem Hierarchy Standard`_, and so will probably need adjustment for non-*nix systems. The default path list is * /usr/share/hooke/hooke.cfg * /etc/hooke/hooke.cfg * ~/.hooke.cfg but alternatives can be specified from the command line launching Hooke. _ ..Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
