PLAINBOX.CONF(5)

NAME
plainbox.conf - plainbox configuration file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/xdg/plainbox.conf

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/plainbox.conf

DESCRIPTION

Plainbox (and its derivatives) uses a configuration system composed of variables arranged in sections. All configuration files follow the well-known INI-style syntax. While Plainbox itself is not really using any variables, knowledge of where those can be defined is useful for working with derivative applications, such as Checkbox.

  The [environment] section

The [environment] section deserves special attention. If a job advertises usage of environment variable FOO (by using the environ: FOO declaration) and FOO is not available in the environment of the user starting plainbox, then the value is obtained from the [environment] section. This mechanism is useful for distributing both site-wide and per-user configuration for jobs.

FILES
