GENISOIMAGERC(5)	      File Formats Manual	      GENISOIMAGERC(5)

NAME
       genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage

DESCRIPTION
       genisoimage(1)  searches	for a configuration file in several places; it
       uses the	first one it is	able to	open.  First, if the GENISOIMAGERC en-
       vironment 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 .genisoimagerc in the same
       directory as genisoimage	itself is stored.

       The .genisoimagerc file 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 config-
       uration file.

       Blank lines and lines beginning with `#'	are ignored.

	      Equivalent to the	-abstract command-line option.

       APPI   The  application identifier should describe the application that
	      will be on the disc.  There is space for 128 characters.	Equiv-

	      COPY=src/COPYING
