Configuration Files

Command-line options can be stored in a configuration file. The location of the default configuration file is /opt/edico/config/dragen-user-defaults.cfg. To specify a different file, use the --config-file (-c) option. The configuration file used for a given run supplies the default settings for that run, any of which can be overridden by command-line options.

The recommended approach is to use the dragen-user-defaults.cfg file as a template to create default settings for different use cases. Copy dragen-user-defaults.cfg, rename the copy, and then modify the new file for the specific use-case. As a best practice, put options that rarely change into the configuration file and specify options that vary per run on the command-line.
