SIEGE.CONFIG(1)                                   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  configura-
       tion 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       superceded  by command line options, so if the configuration file has a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]
