NAME

       genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage

DESCRIPTION

       genisoimage(1)  searches  for a configuration file in several places; it uses the first one it is able to
       open.  First, if the GENISOIMAGERC environment variable is set,  its  value  is  used  as  the  filename;
       likewise  for the MKISOFSRC environment variable.  Next, genisoimage looks for files named .genisoimagerc
       or .mkisofsrc, first in the current working directory, then in the user's home directory.  Next, it looks
       for  /etc/genisoimagerc.   Finally,  it  looks  for a .genisoimagerc in the same directory as genisoimage
       itself is stored.

       The .genisoimagerc file contains lines of the form

              TAG=value

       where TAG is one of the settings defined below.  The case of the tag is not  significant.   All  settings
       have  command-line  equivalents;  if  the command-line parameter is specified, it takes priority over the
       configuration file.

       Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.
