=head1 NAME
/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf - configuration file for guestfish, guestmount, virt-rescue
=head1 SYNOPSIS
/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf
$HOME/.libguestfs-tools.rc
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C</etc/libguestfs-tools.conf> or C<$HOME/.libguestfs-tools.rc> changes
the defaults for the following programs only:
=over 4
=item *
L<guestfish(1)>
=item *
L<guestmount(1)>
=item *
L<virt-rescue(1)>
=back
There is currently only one setting which is controlled by this
file. Adding (or uncommenting):
read_only = true;
changes these programs so they act as if the I<--ro> flag was given on
the command line. You can use this to make the programs safe against
accidental modification of a live guest (users would have to
explicitly add the I<--rw> flag to modify guests). This is not the
default because it is not backwards compatible.
See also L<guestfish(1)/OPENING DISKS FOR READ AND WRITE>.
Note that B<the semicolon is required>.
C</etc/libguestfs-tools.conf> is the global configuration file for all
of the above programs. Local users can override the global
configuration by copying this file into C<.libguestfs-tools.rc> in
their home directory and modifying it accordingly.
