NAME

       .ddtcrc - ddtc script configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the configuration file for ddtc. If it exists, it must be at
       the top of your home directory ($HOME). This file is optional unless
       you don’t want to use default values.

       Lines beginning with a number sign (‘#’) and empty lines will be
       ignored.  Spaces at the beginning and the end of a line will also be
       ignored as well as tabulators.  If you need spaces at the end or the
       beginning of a value you can use apostrophes (‘"’).  An option line
       starts with it’s name followed by a value. An equal sign is optional.
       A comment starts with the number sign, there can be any number of
       spaces and/or tab stops in front of the #.  Some possible examples:

        # this line is ignored
        option   value
        option = value                               # this is a comment
        option        "value ending with space   "

       You have to escape number signs with a backslash (‘\’) to use it in a
       value.

       Default values are provided into square brackets, they should be
       suitable for most installations.

       You can use the configuration menu from interactive mode to edit it.

GENERAL

       base_dir
           base directory, sub-directory of your $HOME unless an absolute path
           (i.e.  beginning with ‘/’) is provided [ddts]

       comment
           comment string for review, a space character will be added to this
           string [>>]

           Caution: if set to ‘yes’, the ‘reply to accept modification’ ddts
           feature doesn’t work anymore and the whole language team should use

           option.

       mail_out
           your email address [first found in $ENV{EMAIL}, $ENV{DEBEMAIL} or
           none]

       mail_in
           the mail address you want the ddts to answer to. This is the
           address the ddts uses for your identification so you must use this
           if you need to set mail_out to another value [mail_out]

MENU COLORS

       Set text colors for clear presentation.

       The recognized colors (all of which should be fairly intuitive) are:
       clear, reset, dark, bold, underline, underscore, blink, reverse,
       concealed, black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white,
       on_black, on_red, on_green, on_yellow, on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan,
       and on_white.  Case is not significant.  Underline and underscore are
       equivalent, as are clear and reset, so use whichever is the most
       intuitive to you.  The color alone sets the foreground color, and
       on_color sets the background color.

       Note that not all colors are supported by all terminal types, and some
       terminals may not support any of these sequences.  Dark, blink, and
       concealed in particular are frequently not implemented.

       menu_title_color
           color used for menu title [bold cyan]

       menu_letter_color
           color used for the letter to be entered [bold cyan]

       menu_text_color
           color used for the menu item description [cyan]
