Details

The configuration files are looked for in three locations

$RSR_APP_DIR\basename
$HOME\basename
.\basename

If more than one of these files is found then they are read in that order, with entries in later files overwriting earlier entries. (Similarly repeated entries in the configuration files only take the last value in the file.)

Finally Environment variables can override each of these values.

Thus in order of loading we have

  1. The RSR application directory ( $RSR_APP_DIR) (if defined in the environment)
  2. The users home directory ( $HOME ) (if defined in the environment)
  3. The directory from which the application was started (./)
  4. Environment variables
