.SH FILES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fB$PREFIX\fP/share/kvirc/\fBVERSION\fP/*
|
|
|
|
|
Directory with the global KVIrc settings , modules etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fB$HOME\fP/.kvircrc This is the first file that KVIrc looks for.
|
|
|
|
|
If the \-c commandline option is specified , the file passed
|
|
|
|
|
as the option parameter is used instead of this one.
|
|
|
|
|
If the file is found , KVIrc reads the first non-empty line
|
|
|
|
|
and treats it as the path to the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
If the file can not be found or the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP
|
|
|
|
|
is not existing , KVIrc enters the setup mode and allows
|
|
|
|
|
selecting a new \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBKVIrc Local directory\fP/*
|
|
|
|
|
Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings.
|
|
|
|
|
