<p>cdist obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following
order:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ol class="arabic simple">
<li>command-line options</li>
<li>configuration file specified at command-line using -g command line option</li>
<li>configuration file specified in CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable</li>
<li>environment variables</li>
<li>user's configuration file (first one found of ~/.cdist.cfg, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg, in specified order)</li>
<li>in-distribution configuration file (cdist/conf/cdist.cfg)</li>
<li>system-wide configuration file (/etc/cdist.cfg)</li>
</ol>
</div></blockquote>
<p>if one exists.</p>
<p>Configuration source with lower ordering number from above has a higher
precedence. Configuration option value read from source with higher
precedence will overwrite option value, if exists, read from source with
lower precedence. That means that command-line option wins them all.</p>
<p>Users can decide on the local conifguration file location. It can be either
~/.cdist.cfg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg. Note that, if both exist,
then ~/.cdist.cfg is used.</p>
<p>For a per-project configuration, particular environment variables or better,
CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable or -g CONFIG_FILE command line option,
can be used.</p>
