Configuration

Configuration consists of:

• Setting default options and preferences for all executions of UELD.
• Setting options and preferences for a single execution of UELD.

Configuration Sources

Configuration options are read from the following sources:

1. Command line
2. Configuration file

The order of precedence is the same as the list above; command line being the highest, and configuration file being the lowest. That is, options specified via a command line override options specified via the configuration file.

Configuration File

The configuration file, ueld.conf, provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values will not change with each command invocation. These default values are used if the options are not read from one or more other sources.

Some options only can be specified in the configuration file; they have no corresponding command line equivalent. Other options cannot be specified in the configuration file; they must be specified via one or more other sources for a single execution of UCMD Manager.
