NAME

     rcrc — configuration for rcm

SYNOPSIS

     X="a b c"

DESCRIPTION

     The rcm dotfile manager can be configured using a .rcrc file in your home directory. This location can be
     changed by setting the RCRC environment variable. The format is POSIX shell. It is sourced in by the
     lsrc(1), mkrc(1), rcdn(1), and rcup(1) programs.

     It supports these variables:

     COPY_ALWAYS    always copy files that match the listed globs, never symlink them.

     DOTFILES_DIRS  the source directories for dotfiles. The first in the list is the source to which dotfiles
                    created using mkrc(1) are installed. The default value is ~/.dotfiles

     EXCLUDES       a space-separated list of exclude patterns. Exclude patterns are explained in detail in
                    lsrc(1) under the section EXCLUDE PATTERN.

     HOSTNAME       the hostname for this computer. This is normally computed using the hostname(1) command, but
                    this command is non-standard and can prove unreliable. The HOSTNAME variable forces a known
                    hostname.

     TAGS           the default tags.

     SYMLINK_DIRS   a space-separated list of patterns. Directories matching a pattern are symlinked instead of
                    descended. Patterns are explained in detail in lsrc(1) under the section EXCLUDE PATTERN.

     UNDOTTED       a space separated list of patterns. Files matching this pattern will be symlinked without a
                    leading dot. If a file is also in SYMLINK_DIRS, then the directory will be symlinked without
                    a leading dot.  Patterns are explained in detail in lsrc(1) under the section EXCLUDE
                    PATTERN.

FILES

     ~/.rcrc

BUGS

     We only expand tilde inside DOTFILES_DIRS and not inside any patterns. For more notes on the caution you
     should exercise around patterns, see the BUGS section of lsrc(1).
