-C, --conf-file=3D<file>
Specify a different configuration file. The conf-file option is also allowe=
d in configuration files, to include multiple configuration files.
-7, --conf-dir=3D<directory>[,<file-extension>......]
Read all the files in the given directory as configuration files. If extens=
ion(s) are given, any files which end in those extensions are skipped. Any =
files whose names end in ~ or start with . or start and end with # are alwa=
ys skipped. This flag may be given on the command line or in a configuratio=
n file.
Thanks,
Tyler
