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.
