NAME
       /etc/libguestfs-tools.conf - configuration file for guestfish, guestmount, virt-rescue

SYNOPSIS
	/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf

	$HOME/.libguestfs-tools.rc

DESCRIPTION
       "/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf" or "$HOME/.libguestfs-tools.rc" changes the defaults for the following programs only:

       o   guestfish(1)

       o   guestmount(1)

       o   virt-rescue(1)

       There is currently only one setting which is controlled by this file.  Adding (or uncommenting):

	read_only = true;

       changes these programs so they act as if the --ro flag was given on the command line.  You can use this to make the programs safe against
       accidental modification of a live guest (users would have to explicitly add the --rw flag to modify guests).  This is not the default
       because it is not backwards compatible.	See also "OPENING DISKS FOR READ AND WRITE" in guestfish(1).

       Note that the semicolon is required.

       "/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf" is the global configuration file for all of the above programs.  Local users can override the global
       configuration by copying this file into ".libguestfs-tools.rc" in their home directory and modifying it accordingly.

       This file is parsed by the libconfig library.  For more information about the format, see:
       http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig_manual.html
