LIBIPMICONSOLE(5) Configuration LIBIPMICONSOLE(5)
NAME
libipmiconsole.conf - specify default values for libipmiconsole
DESCRIPTION
The Libipmiconsole configuration file can be used to set alternate default values for the
libipmiconsole library. The configuration of these defaults may be useful for environments
in which programs link to libipmiconsole but do not support configuration of libipmicon-
sole parameters. Users should be ware that setting alternate default values into libipmi-
console will affect all tools that link to the library, such as the ipmiconsole(8) tool.
For users wishing to set alternate defaults to ipmiconsole(8) please use the
freeipmi.conf(5) file instead.
The configuration file is stored at /etc/freeipmi//libipmiconsole.conf.
FORMAT
The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file are listed be-
low. Each configuration option must be listed on a separate line. Arguments for an option
are separated by any amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by white-
space. Comments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be
continued on the next using backslash ("\").
