16.1 Determining the Current Configuration

  473

Information on the current configuration of SiSU should be available with the help command:

  474

sisu -v

  475

which is an alias for:

  476

sisu --help env

  477

Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains sisu markup source documents.

  478

16.2 Configuration files (config.yml)

  479

SiSU configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which can be used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which directory interim processing should be done in and where the generated output should be placed.

  480

The SiSU configuration file is a yaml file, which means indentation is significant.

  481

SiSU resource configuration is determined by looking at the following files if they exist:

  482

./_sisu/sisurc.yml

  483

~/.sisu/sisurc.yml

  484

/etc/sisu/sisurc.yml

  485

The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used.

  486

In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal program defaults.

  487

Configuration determines the output and processing directories and the database access details.

  488

If SiSU is installed a sample sisurc.yml may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
