Option Files

The link on the right of global options allows you to save the CScout global options into a file. A directory .cscout will be created in the current directory (if it does not already exist), and a file named options will be written in it, listing the options you specified.

When CScout starts-up it will attempt to load the options file by searching in $CSCOUT_HOME, $HOME/.cscout, or .cscout in the current directory.

The options file is text based and contains key-value pairs. The order of the entries is not significant. This is an example of an options file.
