|
|
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This document is all you need to know about what's required in your package.json
|
|
file. It must be actual JSON, not just a JavaScript object literal.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A lot of the behavior described in this document is affected by the config
|
|
settings described in <code><a href="../doc/config.html">config(1)</a></code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="DEFAULT-VALUES">DEFAULT VALUES</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>npm will default some values based on package contents.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li><p><code>"scripts": {"start": "node server.js"}</code></p><p>If there is a <code>server.js</code> file in the root of your package, then npm
|
|
will default the <code>start</code> command to <code>node server.js</code>.</p></li><li><p><code>"scripts":{"preinstall": "node-waf clean || true; node-waf configure build"}</code></p><p>If there is a <code>wscript</code> file in the root of your package, npm will
|
|
default the <code>preinstall</code> command to compile using node-waf.</p></li><li><p><code>"scripts":{"preinstall": "node-gyp rebuild"}</code></p><p>If there is a <code>binding.gyp</code> file in the root of your package, npm will
|
|
default the <code>preinstall</code> command to compile using node-gyp.</p></li><li><p><code>"contributors": [...]</code></p><p>If there is an <code>AUTHORS</code> file in the root of your package, npm will
|
|
treat each line as a <code>Name <email> (url)</code> format, where email and url
|
|
are optional. Lines which start with a <code>#</code> or are blank, will be
|
|
ignored.</p></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="name">name</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>most</em> important things in your package.json are the name and version fields.
|
|
Those are actually required, and your package won't install without
|
|
them. The name and version together form an identifier that is assumed
|
|
to be completely unique. Changes to the package should come along with
|
|
changes to the version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The name is what your thing is called. Some tips:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Don't put "js" or "node" in the name. It's assumed that it's js, since you're
|
|
writing a package.json file, and you can specify the engine using the "engines"
|
|
field. (See below.)</li><li>The name ends up being part of a URL, an argument on the command line, and a
|
|
folder name. Any name with non-url-safe characters will be rejected.
|
|
Also, it can't start with a dot or an underscore.</li><li>The name will probably be passed as an argument to require(), so it should
|
|
be something short, but also reasonably descriptive.</li><li>You may want to check the npm registry to see if there's something by that name
|
|
already, before you get too attached to it. http://registry.npmjs.org/</li></ul>
|

|

<h2 id="version">version</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>most</em> important things in your package.json are the name and version fields.
|
|
Those are actually required, and your package won't install without
|
|
them. The name and version together form an identifier that is assumed
|
|
to be completely unique. Changes to the package should come along with
|
|
changes to the version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version must be parseable by
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/isaacs/node-semver">node-semver</a>, which is bundled
|
|
with npm as a dependency. (<code>npm install semver</code> to use it yourself.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here's how npm's semver implementation deviates from what's on semver.org:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Versions can start with "v"</li><li>A numeric item separated from the main three-number version by a hyphen
|
|
will be interpreted as a "build" number, and will <em>increase</em> the version.
|
|
But, if the tag is not a number separated by a hyphen, then it's treated
|
|
as a pre-release tag, and is <em>less than</em> the version without a tag.
|
|
So, <code>0.1.2-7 > 0.1.2-7-beta > 0.1.2-6 > 0.1.2 > 0.1.2beta</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a little bit confusing to explain, but matches what you see in practice
|
|
when people create tags in git like "v1.2.3" and then do "git describe" to generate
|
|
a patch version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="description">description</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Put a description in it. It's a string. This helps people discover your
|
|
package, as it's listed in <code>npm search</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="keywords">keywords</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Put keywords in it. It's an array of strings. This helps people
|
|
discover your package as it's listed in <code>npm search</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="homepage">homepage</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The url to the project homepage.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: This is <em>not</em> the same as "url". If you put a "url" field,
|
|
then the registry will think it's a redirection to your package that has
|
|
been published somewhere else, and spit at you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Literally. Spit. I'm so not kidding.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="bugs">bugs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The url to your project's issue tracker and / or the email address to which
|
|
issues should be reported. These are helpful for people who encounter issues
|
|
with your package.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It should look like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "url" : "http://github.com/owner/project/issues"
|
|
, "email" : "project@hostname.com"
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can specify either one or both values. If you want to provide only a url,
|
|
you can specify the value for "bugs" as a simple string instead of an object.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If a url is provided, it will be used by the <code>npm bugs</code> command.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="people-fields-author-contributors">people fields: author, contributors</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "author" is one person. "contributors" is an array of people. A "person"
|
|
is an object with a "name" field and optionally "url" and "email", like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "Barney Rubble"
|
|
, "email" : "b@rubble.com"
|
|
, "url" : "http://barnyrubble.tumblr.com/"
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Or you can shorten that all into a single string, and npm will parse it for you:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"Barney Rubble <b@rubble.com> (http://barnyrubble.tumblr.com/)</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Both email and url are optional either way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>npm also sets a top-level "maintainers" field with your npm user info.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="files">files</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "files" field is an array of files to include in your project. If
|
|
you name a folder in the array, then it will also include the files
|
|
inside that folder. (Unless they would be ignored by another rule.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also provide a ".npmignore" file in the root of your package,
|
|
which will keep files from being included, even if they would be picked
|
|
up by the files array. The ".npmignore" file works just like a
|
|
".gitignore".</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="main">main</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The main field is a module ID that is the primary entry point to your program.
|
|
That is, if your package is named <code>foo</code>, and a user installs it, and then does
|
|
<code>require("foo")</code>, then your main module's exports object will be returned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This should be a module ID relative to the root of your package folder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For most modules, it makes the most sense to have a main script and often not
|
|
much else.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="bin">bin</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>A lot of packages have one or more executable files that they'd like to
|
|
install into the PATH. npm makes this pretty easy (in fact, it uses this
|
|
feature to install the "npm" executable.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To use this, supply a <code>bin</code> field in your package.json which is a map of
|
|
command name to local file name. On install, npm will symlink that file into
|
|
<code>prefix/bin</code> for global installs, or <code>./node_modules/.bin/</code> for local
|
|
installs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, npm has this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "bin" : { "npm" : "./cli.js" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>So, when you install npm, it'll create a symlink from the <code>cli.js</code> script to
|
|
<code>/usr/local/bin/npm</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a single executable, and its name should be the name
|
|
of the package, then you can just supply it as a string. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name": "my-program"
|
|
, "version": "1.2.5"
|
|
, "bin": "./path/to/program" }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>would be the same as this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name": "my-program"
|
|
, "version": "1.2.5"
|
|
, "bin" : { "my-program" : "./path/to/program" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="man">man</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Specify either a single file or an array of filenames to put in place for the
|
|
<code>man</code> program to find.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If only a single file is provided, then it's installed such that it is the
|
|
result from <code>man <pkgname></code>, regardless of its actual filename. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "foo"
|
|
, "version" : "1.2.3"
|
|
, "description" : "A packaged foo fooer for fooing foos"
|
|
, "main" : "foo.js"
|
|
, "man" : "./man/doc.1"
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>would link the <code>./man/doc.1</code> file in such that it is the target for <code>man foo</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the filename doesn't start with the package name, then it's prefixed.
|
|
So, this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "foo"
|
|
, "version" : "1.2.3"
|
|
, "description" : "A packaged foo fooer for fooing foos"
|
|
, "main" : "foo.js"
|
|
, "man" : [ "./man/foo.1", "./man/bar.1" ]
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>will create files to do <code>man foo</code> and <code>man foo-bar</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Man files must end with a number, and optionally a <code>.gz</code> suffix if they are
|
|
compressed. The number dictates which man section the file is installed into.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "foo"
|
|
, "version" : "1.2.3"
|
|
, "description" : "A packaged foo fooer for fooing foos"
|
|
, "main" : "foo.js"
|
|
, "man" : [ "./man/foo.1", "./man/foo.2" ]
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>will create entries for <code>man foo</code> and <code>man 2 foo</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="directories">directories</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CommonJS <a href="http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Packages/1.0">Packages</a> spec details a
|
|
few ways that you can indicate the structure of your package using a <code>directories</code>
|
|
hash. If you look at <a href="http://registry.npmjs.org/npm/latest">npm's package.json</a>,
|
|
you'll see that it has directories for doc, lib, and man.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the future, this information may be used in other creative ways.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="directories-lib">directories.lib</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tell people where the bulk of your library is. Nothing special is done
|
|
with the lib folder in any way, but it's useful meta info.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="directories-bin">directories.bin</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you specify a "bin" directory, then all the files in that folder will
|
|
be used as the "bin" hash.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a "bin" hash already, then this has no effect.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="directories-man">directories.man</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A folder that is full of man pages. Sugar to generate a "man" array by
|
|
walking the folder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="directories-doc">directories.doc</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Put markdown files in here. Eventually, these will be displayed nicely,
|
|
maybe, someday.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="directories-example">directories.example</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Put example scripts in here. Someday, it might be exposed in some clever way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="repository">repository</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Specify the place where your code lives. This is helpful for people who
|
|
want to contribute. If the git repo is on github, then the <code>npm docs</code>
|
|
command will be able to find you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Do it like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"repository" :
|
|
{ "type" : "git"
|
|
, "url" : "http://github.com/isaacs/npm.git"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
"repository" :
|
|
{ "type" : "svn"
|
|
, "url" : "http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/"
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The URL should be a publicly available (perhaps read-only) url that can be handed
|
|
directly to a VCS program without any modification. It should not be a url to an
|
|
html project page that you put in your browser. It's for computers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="scripts">scripts</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "scripts" member is an object hash of script commands that are run
|
|
at various times in the lifecycle of your package. The key is the lifecycle
|
|
event, and the value is the command to run at that point.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <code><a href="../doc/scripts.html">scripts(1)</a></code> to find out more about writing package scripts.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="config">config</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>A "config" hash can be used to set configuration
|
|
parameters used in package scripts that persist across upgrades. For
|
|
instance, if a package had the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "foo"
|
|
, "config" : { "port" : "8080" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>and then had a "start" command that then referenced the
|
|
<code>npm_package_config_port</code> environment variable, then the user could
|
|
override that by doing <code>npm config set foo:port 8001</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <code><a href="../doc/config.html">config(1)</a></code> and <code><a href="../doc/scripts.html">scripts(1)</a></code> for more on package
|
|
configs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="dependencies">dependencies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Dependencies are specified with a simple hash of package name to version
|
|
range. The version range is EITHER a string which has one or more
|
|
space-separated descriptors, OR a range like "fromVersion - toVersion"</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Please do not put test harnesses in your <code>dependencies</code> hash.</strong> See
|
|
<code>devDependencies</code>, below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version range descriptors may be any of the following styles, where "version"
|
|
is a semver compatible version identifier.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li><code>version</code> Must match <code>version</code> exactly</li><li><code>=version</code> Same as just <code>version</code></li><li><code>>version</code> Must be greater than <code>version</code></li><li><code>>=version</code> etc</li><li><code><version</code></li><li><code><=version</code></li><li><code>~version</code> See 'Tilde Version Ranges' below</li><li><code>1.2.x</code> See 'X Version Ranges' below</li><li><code>http://...</code> See 'URLs as Dependencies' below</li><li><code>*</code> Matches any version</li><li><code>""</code> (just an empty string) Same as <code>*</code></li><li><code>version1 - version2</code> Same as <code>>=version1 <=version2</code>.</li><li><code>range1 || range2</code> Passes if either range1 or range2 are satisfied.</li><li><code>git...</code> See 'Git URLs as Dependencies' below</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, these are all valid:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "dependencies" :
|
|
{ "foo" : "1.0.0 - 2.9999.9999"
|
|
, "bar" : ">=1.0.2 <2.1.2"
|
|
, "baz" : ">1.0.2 <=2.3.4"
|
|
, "boo" : "2.0.1"
|
|
, "qux" : "<1.0.0 || >=2.3.1 <2.4.5 || >=2.5.2 <3.0.0"
|
|
, "asd" : "http://asdf.com/asdf.tar.gz"
|
|
, "til" : "~1.2"
|
|
, "elf" : "~1.2.3"
|
|
, "two" : "2.x"
|
|
, "thr" : "3.3.x"
|
|
}
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Tilde-Version-Ranges">Tilde Version Ranges</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A range specifier starting with a tilde <code>~</code> character is matched against
|
|
a version in the following fashion.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>The version must be at least as high as the range.</li><li>The version must be less than the next major revision above the range.</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, the following are equivalent:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li><code>"~1.2.3" = ">=1.2.3 <1.3.0"</code></li><li><code>"~1.2" = ">=1.2.0 <2.0.0"</code></li><li><code>"~1" = ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="X-Version-Ranges">X Version Ranges</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>An "x" in a version range specifies that the version number must start
|
|
with the supplied digits, but any digit may be used in place of the x.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following are equivalent:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li><code>"1.2.x" = ">=1.2.0 <1.3.0"</code></li><li><code>"1.x.x" = ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"</code></li><li><code>"1.2" = "1.2.x"</code></li><li><code>"1.x" = "1.x.x"</code></li><li><code>"1" = "1.x.x"</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may not supply a comparator with a version containing an x. Any
|
|
digits after the first "x" are ignored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="URLs-as-Dependencies">URLs as Dependencies</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting with npm version 0.2.14, you may specify a tarball URL in place
|
|
of a version range.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This tarball will be downloaded and installed locally to your package at
|
|
install time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Git-URLs-as-Dependencies">Git URLs as Dependencies</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Git urls can be of the form:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>git://github.com/user/project.git#commit-ish
|
|
git+ssh://user@hostname:project.git#commit-ish
|
|
git+ssh://user@hostname/project.git#commit-ish
|
|
git+http://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish
|
|
git+https://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>commit-ish</code> can be any tag, sha, or branch which can be supplied as
|
|
an argument to <code>git checkout</code>. The default is <code>master</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="devDependencies">devDependencies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If someone is planning on downloading and using your module in their
|
|
program, then they probably don't want or need to download and build
|
|
the external test or documentation framework that you use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case, it's best to list these additional items in a
|
|
<code>devDependencies</code> hash.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These things will be installed whenever the <code>--dev</code> configuration flag
|
|
is set. This flag is set automatically when doing <code>npm link</code>, and can
|
|
be managed like any other npm configuration param. See <code><a href="../doc/config.html">config(1)</a></code>
|
|
for more on the topic.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="bundledDependencies">bundledDependencies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Array of package names that will be bundled when publishing the package.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If this is spelled <code>"bundleDependencies"</code>, then that is also honorable.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="optionalDependencies">optionalDependencies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If a dependency can be used, but you would like npm to proceed if it
|
|
cannot be found or fails to install, then you may put it in the
|
|
<code>optionalDependencies</code> hash. This is a map of package name to version
|
|
or url, just like the <code>dependencies</code> hash. The difference is that
|
|
failure is tolerated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is still your program's responsibility to handle the lack of the
|
|
dependency. For example, something like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>try {
|
|
var foo = require('foo')
|
|
var fooVersion = require('foo/package.json').version
|
|
} catch (er) {
|
|
foo = null
|
|
}
|
|
if ( notGoodFooVersion(fooVersion) ) {
|

foo = null

if (foo) {

}</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Entries in <code>optionalDependencies</code> will override entries of the same name in
|
|
<code>dependencies</code>, so it's usually best to only put in one place.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="engines">engines</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can specify the version of node that your stuff works on:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "engines" : { "node" : ">=0.1.27 <0.1.30" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>And, like with dependencies, if you don't specify the version (or if you
|
|
specify "*" as the version), then any version of node will do.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you specify an "engines" field, then npm will require that "node" be
|
|
somewhere on that list. If "engines" is omitted, then npm will just assume
|
|
that it works on node.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also use the "engines" field to specify which versions of npm
|
|
are capable of properly installing your program. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "engines" : { "npm" : "~1.0.20" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that, unless the user has set the <code>engine-strict</code> config flag, this
|
|
field is advisory only.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="engineStrict">engineStrict</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are sure that your module will <em>definitely not</em> run properly on
|
|
versions of Node/npm other than those specified in the <code>engines</code> hash,
|
|
then you can set <code>"engineStrict": true</code> in your package.json file.
|
|
This will override the user's <code>engine-strict</code> config setting.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please do not do this unless you are really very very sure. If your
|
|
engines hash is something overly restrictive, you can quite easily and
|
|
inadvertently lock yourself into obscurity and prevent your users from
|
|
updating to new versions of Node. Consider this choice carefully. If
|
|
people abuse it, it will be removed in a future version of npm.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="os">os</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can specify which operating systems your
|
|
module will run on:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"os" : [ "darwin", "linux" ]</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also blacklist instead of whitelist operating systems,
|
|
just prepend the blacklisted os with a '!':</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"os" : [ "!win32" ]</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The host operating system is determined by <code>process.platform</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is allowed to both blacklist, and whitelist, although there isn't any
|
|
good reason to do this.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="cpu">cpu</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If your code only runs on certain cpu architectures,
|
|
you can specify which ones.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"cpu" : [ "x64", "ia32" ]</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Like the <code>os</code> option, you can also blacklist architectures:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>"cpu" : [ "!arm", "!mips" ]</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The host architecture is determined by <code>process.arch</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="preferGlobal">preferGlobal</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If your package is primarily a command-line application that should be
|
|
installed globally, then set this value to <code>true</code> to provide a warning
|
|
if it is installed locally.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It doesn't actually prevent users from installing it locally, but it
|
|
does help prevent some confusion if it doesn't work as expected.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="private">private</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you set <code>"private": true</code> in your package.json, then npm will refuse
|
|
to publish it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a way to prevent accidental publication of private repositories.
|
|
If you would like to ensure that a given package is only ever published
|
|
to a specific registry (for example, an internal registry),
|
|
then use the <code>publishConfig</code> hash described below
|
|
to override the <code>registry</code> config param at publish-time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="publishConfig">publishConfig</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a set of config values that will be used at publish-time. It's
|
|
especially handy if you want to set the tag or registry, so that you can
|
|
ensure that a given package is not tagged with "latest" or published to
|
|
the global public registry by default.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any config values can be overridden, but of course only "tag" and
|
|
"registry" probably matter for the purposes of publishing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <code><a href="../doc/config.html">config(1)</a></code> to see the list of config options that can be
|
|
overridden.</p>
