CONFIGURATION

Files

The location of files can be installation specific. You can check the location where zoid looks for them with the command zoid --list-conf. All global configuration can by default be found in your home directory in ~/.zoid ("config_dir"), some plugins also put data files in this dir. Plugins have seperate config files that are hashed by zoidberg, they can be found in ~/.zoid/plugins ("plugins_dir").

The most important is the settings_file, is contains the main settings hash. ( Note that this file might get incorporated in ~/.zoidrc. )

Data Structures

settings

This hash can at all times be accessed from the command line. Also the builtin set command acts on thsi hash. See SETTINGS for a summary of it's keys.

FIXME Where are special builtins documented ?

plugins

This hash is a representation of the seperate plugin configuration files. Most of it's information is referenced by the plugins, so it could be harmfull to edit it. When you edit a plugin configuration file, you probably only wnat to edit the "config" section, this is the configuration for the plugin - other fields in the file contain meta information about the plugin for zoidberg.

FIXME Where is documentation about the plugin system to be found ?
