NAME
Source-highlight-settings - utility that can be used to write a configuration file for GNU Source-highlight (and its library) SYNOPSIS
source-highlight-settings DESCRIPTION
Since version 3.0, GNU Source-highlight includes also the utility source-highlight-settings, which can be used to check whether source-highlight will be able to find its language definition files, and other configuration files, and in case, to store the correct set- tings in a configuration file, in the user home directory. In particular, the stored configuration file will be called source-highlight.conf and will be stored in $HOME/.source-highlight/. For the moment, this file only stores the default value for the --data-dir option.
