<h2 class="chapter">11 Resource Files</h2>

<p><a name="index-resource-files-36"></a><a name="index-configuration-files-37"></a>
Default command line options may be set in <samp><span class="file">.stowrc</span></samp> (current directory) or
<samp><span class="file">~/.stowrc</span></samp> (home directory). These are parsed in that order, and effectively
prepended to you command line.  This feature can be used for some interesting
effects.

   <p>For example, suppose your site uses more than one stow directory, perhaps in
order to share around responsibilities with a number of systems
administrators. One of the administrators might have the following in their
<samp><span class="file">~/.stowrc</span></samp> file:

<pre class="example">     --dir=/usr/local/stow2
     --target=/usr/local
     --ignore='~'
     --ignore='^CVS'
</pre>
   <p>so that the <samp><span class="command">stow</span></samp> command will default to operating on the
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/stow2</span></samp> directory, with <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> as the
target, and ignoring vi backup files and CVS directories.

   <p>If you had a stow directory <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/stow/perl-extras</span></samp> that
was only used for Perl modules, then you might place the following in
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/stow/perl-extras/.stowrc</span></samp>:

<pre class="example">     --dir=/usr/local/stow/perl-extras
     --target=/usr/local
     --override=bin
     --override=man
     --ignore='perllocal\.pod'
     --ignore='\.packlist'
     --ignore='\.bs'
</pre>
   <p>so that when you are in the <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/stow/perl-extras</span></samp>
directory, <samp><span class="command">stow</span></samp> will regard any subdirectories as stow
packages, with <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> as the target (rather than the
immediate parent directory <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/stow</span></samp>), overriding any
pre-existing links to bin files or man pages, and ignoring some cruft
that gets installed by default.
