Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. +.TP +The configuration file is a list of 'setting=value' pairs, one per line, with optional comments starting with the '#' character. Please refer to bitcoind(1) for a up to date list of valid options. +.TP +The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, bitcoind(1) will look for a file named bitcoin.conf(5) in the bitcoin data directory, but both the data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the '\-datadir' and '\-conf' command-line arguments. +.SH LOCATION +bitcoin.conf should be located in $HOME/.bitcoin + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +bitcoind(1) +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Micah Anderson <micah@debian.org> for the Debian system (but may be used by others).
