|

.SH NAME
|
|
getconfig - get configuration information for the XFree86 server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B getconfig
|
|
.RI [ option
|
|
.IR ... ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B getconfig
|
|
is a programatic interface that is used by the
|
|
.B XFree86
|
|
server to get configuration information about video hardware when
|
|
operating without an
|
|
.B XF86Config
|
|
file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This implementation of
|
|
.B getconfig
|
|
is written in perl. It processes a prioritized and ordered list of
|
|
rules supplied internally and from meta-configuration files. The rules
|
|
are in the form of perl expressions.
|
|
.B getconfig
|
|
writes to standard output the XF86Config-style configuration data
|
|
specified by the last highest priority rule that evaluates to true.
|
|
Information about the format of the meta-configuration files can be
|
|
found in the getconfig(__filemansuffix__) manual page.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-I " search-path"
|
|
Specify the search path to use for meta-config files.
|
|
.I search-path
|
|
is a comma-separated list of directories to search. Each directory in
|
|
the search path is searched for files with a
|
|
.I .cfg
|
|
suffix. Each such file is opened and checked for a valid signature
|
|
string. Rules are read from files with a valid signature string and
|
|
appended to the list of rules to evaluate. If no search path is specified,
|
|
only the internally supplied configuration rules will be used.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
Enable debugging output.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-V

.SH FILES
|
|
.I .cfg
|
|
files located in the search path. The search path typically specified
|
|
by the
|
|
.B XFree86
|
|
server is:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.nf
|
|
.I /etc/X11
|
|
.I __projectroot__/etc/X11

.I <modulepath>
|
|
.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/getconfig
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
where
|
|
.I <modulepath>
|
|
is the
|
|
.B XFree86
|
|
server's module search path.
