NAME
siege.config - builds a .siegerc template in the user’s home directory.
INTRODUCTION
With the release of version 2.00, siege supports a settings
configuration file to permanently store runtime variables. The
settings in this file are the default values for every siege
invocation. They are superceded by command line options, so if the
configuration file has a default "times = 10" and the user invokes
siege with -t1000, then siege will run 1000 times and not 10.
When siege is installed on a system, a .siegerc file is installed in
the installing user’s home directory. This means that only the user
who installed siege has a configuration file. The siege.config utility
was designed to install a .siegerc file in the home directory of the
user who invoked it. This makes it possible to have customized siege
configuration on a per user basis.
INVOCATION
The format for invoking siege.config is this:
siege.config [no arguments]
