RCRC(5) BSD File Formats Manual RCRC(5)NAMErcrc — configuration for rcm
SYNOPSIS
X="a b c"
DESCRIPTION
The rcm dotfile manager can be configured using a .rcrc file in your home
directory. This location can be changed by setting the RCRC environment
variable. The format is POSIX shell. It is sourced in by the lsrc(1),
mkrc(1), rcdn(1), and rcup(1) programs.
It supports these variables:
COPY_ALWAYS always copy files that match the listed globs, never sym‐
link them.
DOTFILES_DIRS the source directories for dotfiles. The first in the list
is the source to which dotfiles created using mkrc(1) are
installed. The default value is ~/.dotfiles
EXCLUDES a space-separated list of exclude patterns. Exclude pat‐
terns are explained in detail in lsrc(1) under the section
EXCLUDE PATTERN.
HOSTNAME the hostname for this computer. This is normally computed
using the hostname(1) command, but this command is non-
standard and can prove unreliable. The HOSTNAME variable
forces a known hostname.
TAGS the default tags.
SYMLINK_DIRS a space-separated list of patterns. Directories matching a
pattern are symlinked instead of descended. Patterns are
explained in detail in lsrc(1) under the section EXCLUDE
PATTERN.
UNDOTTED a space separated list of patterns. Files matching this
pattern will be symlinked without a leading dot. If a file
is also in SYMLINK_DIRS, then the directory will be sym‐
linked without a leading dot. Patterns are explained in
detail in lsrc(1) under the section EXCLUDE PATTERN.
