BS.CLIENT.CONF(5)

NAME
bs.client.conf - Brimstone client configuration file

SYNOPSIS
/etc/bs.client.conf

DESCRIPTION
The file is used to configure all Brimstone clients. Any value which it makes sense (or even nonsense) to configure on a permanent basis is done through this configuration file. The basic syntax of the configuration file is outlined in sos_config(5) while the exact variables used are outlined in the manual page for that program.

TYPES
The types which are used in the client configuration file to describe the potential values of the variables are as follows:

number
    A number expressed in base ten suitable for atoi().

format
    A string suitable for use in a printf(3) type function. Note that the number and ordering of the printf escape sequences may NOT be changed.

string
    Arbitrary character sequence. Only one value is used (if multiple values are present, all but the first will be ignored).

stringn
    Multiple strings. All values of the keys can be potentially used (in the order specified). If used as multi-line output as in a greeting, when printed, the values will be printed one to a line.

ENVIRONMENT
The environmental variable BS_CLIENT_CONF can usually be used to change the path to the client configuration file.
