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        superceded  by command line options, so if the configuration file has a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]
