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 configuration 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       superceded by command line options, so if the configuration file has a default "times = 10" and the  user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]
