NAME

       user-dirs.conf - configuration for xdg-user-dirs-update

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf file is a text file that controls the behavior of the
       xdg-user-dirs-update command. Users can have their own ~/.config/user-dirs.conf file,
       which overrides the system-wide configuration.

       The following keys are recognised:

       enabled=boolean
           When set to False, xdg-user-dirs-update will not change the XDG user dirs
           configuration.

       filename_encoding=encoding
           This sets the filename encoding to use.  encoding can be an explicit encoding name,
           such as UTF-8, or "locale", which means the encoding of the users locale will be used.

       Lines beginning with a # character are ignored.
