mconfig, - Utility for modifying .NET configuration files
SYNOPSISmconfig [options] command [command_parameters]
DESCRIPTIONmconfig can be used to edit .NET configuration files, by adding "fea‐
tures" (that is sets of xml statements) defined in one of the config
files read by mconfig. The config file can also define layouts of
default configuration files, which may be useful for bootstrapping your
.NET projects.
To see the list of recognized commands, default configuration files and
features, run mconfig without passing any parameters.
OPTIONS-c <config_file>, --config=<config_file>
Read the specified config file after reading the other, precon‐
figured, config files for the utility. Settings in the specified
file override those found in the other configuration locations.
-t {any | web | application}, --target={any | web | application}
Features and default configuration files defined in the mconfig
config file(s) can be assigned to one of the three targets - web
(for ASP.NET features/config files), application - for .NET
applications, any - applicable in both of the previous targets.
Defaults to any.
-?, -h, --help
Show a summary usage screen.
-v, --version
Show the mconfig version
COMMANDS
{addfeature, af} <feature_name> [config_file_path]
Adds the feature named <feature_name> to the specified config
file. If [config_file_path] is omitted, the name of the output
configuration file will be chosen based on the selected target
(see the -t option). The web target outputs configuration to
file named Web.config, and the application target outputs to
file named application.exe.config. The any target does not have
a default output file.
If the specified config file exists, the feature will be
injected into it at the locations specified by mconfig configu‐
ration. If the target config file does not exist, it will be
created and will contain only the specified feature and all its
dependencies.
{defaultconfig, dc} [config_name [target_directory]]
Generates a default config file using the configuration entry
named [config_name] and outputs the resulting configuration file
to the directory given by the [target_directory] option. If
[config_name] is omitted, it defaults to Web.config for the web
target and application target. The any target does not specify
any default output configuration name. If the [target_directory]
parameter is omitted, it defaults to the current directory.
Name of the output config file created in [target_directory] is
given in the config file layout definition.
FILES
Config files are read in the order given below. Each subsequent file
may override settings found in the files read before it.
$prefix/etc/mono/mconfig/config.xml
The default configuration file, distributed with mconfig. $pre‐
fix is the mconfig installation prefix specified on the compila‐
tion time.
$config_dir/mconfig/config.xml
$config_dir is the directory specified in the XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable or,
if it is empty, in the .config directory located in the user's
home directory. This file is not distributed with Mono.
./mconfig.xml
Local configuration file which can contain per-application set‐
tings.
