NAME

       plowshare.conf - Configuration file for Plowshare

DESCRIPTION

       Plowshare  (plowdown,  plowup,  plowdel,  plowlist or plowprobe) uses a configuration file
       called plowshare.conf for its initial setup. This configuration file is  searched  for  in
       the following places when plowshare is started:

           ~/.config/plowshare/plowshare.conf
           /etc/plowshare.conf

       Instead  of  specifying  long  command lines with user's preferences (credentials, network
       settings or download retry number, ...), it is convenient to make them default.

       Note: Usage of configuration file can  be  disabled  using  --no-plowsharerc  command-line
       option.  There  is  also  --plowsharerc=FILE  option to specify an alternate configuration
       file.

FILE FORMAT

       plowshare.conf file uses an INI-style format. It is composed of six sections which may  be
       present in any order. Each section may contain lines of the form:

           [General]
               token = value
               ...
           [Plowdown]
               token = value
               ...
           [Plowup]
               token = value
               ...
           [Plowdel]
               token = value
               ...
           [Plowlist]
               token = value
               ...
           [Plowprobe]
               token = value
               ...

           # this is a comment

       Notes:

       • Sections are unordered.

       • Blank  lines  or lines beginning with a hash character ('#') are treated as comments and
         ignored.

       • Whitespace before and after a token or value is ignored (although a  value  can  contain
         whitespace within).

       • Double quoting value is optional. Use them to preserve leading and trailing whitespace.

       Valid  tokens  are  always  lowercase.   Names  are  long-option command-line arguments of
       plowshare. For example: temp-directory for plowdown.   For  modules  options,  tokens  are
       prepended by module name and a slash character. For example: rapidgator/auth (short-option
       are also possible here).

       For values, no backslash interpretation is  made.  "\t"  is  a  regular  string  with  two
       characters, it is not a tab character.

       Options  in  general section prevail over Plow* section. Options given on the command line
       prevail over configuration file options.
