NAME
       plainbox.conf - plainbox configuration file


SYNOPSIS
       /etc/xdg/plainbox.conf

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/plainbox.conf


DESCRIPTION
       Plainbox  (and  its  derivatives) uses a configuration system composed of variables arranged in sections.
       All configuration files follow the well-known INI-style syntax. While Plainbox itself is not really using
       any  variables,  knowledge  of  where  those  can  be  defined  is  useful  for  working  with derivative
       applications, such as Checkbox.

   The [environment] section
       The [environment] section deserves special attention. If a job advertises usage of  environment  variable
       FOO  (by  using  the  environ:  FOO  declaration) and FOO is not available in the environment of the user
       starting plainbox, then the value is obtained from the [environment] section. This  mechanism  is  useful
       for distributing both site-wide and per-user configuration for jobs.


FILES
       /etc/xdg/plainbox.conf
          System-wide configuration file (lowest priority).

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/plainbox.conf
          Per-user configuration (highest priority).


EXAMPLES
