SIEGE.CONFIG(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   SIEGE.CONFIG(1)

NAME

       siege.config - builds a .siegerc template in the user's home directory.

INTRODUCTION

       With  the  release  of  version 2.00, siege supports a settings configuration file to permanently store runtime variables.  The settings in
       this file are the default values for every siege invocation. They are superceded by command line options, so if the configuration file  has
       a default "times = 10" and the user invokes siege with -t1000, then siege will run 1000 times and not 10.

       When  siege  is installed on a system, a .siegerc file is installed in the installing user's home directory.  This means that only the user
       who installed siege has a configuration file.  The siege.config utility was designed to install a .siegerc file in the  home  directory	of
       the user who invoked it. This makes it possible to have customized siege configuration on a per user basis.

INVOCATION

       The format for invoking siege.config is this:
       siege.config [no arguments]
