NAME
       ch_rc - change system configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       root] {parameter|parameter=value}...]  [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       manages	the addition, modification, removal, and retrieval of informa‐
       tion stored in files having the format of those in the directory.

       Parameter names are treated as strings.	Thus, has no  special  meaning
       to in relation to other parameters named

   Options
	      file	Specify	 the  file(s)  to be used as the configuration
			database.  If no file is specified, the set  of	 files
			used by defaults to and all files in the directory.

			Modification  and deletion of configuration parameters
			occurs in the file where the parameter is found.

	      Add or modify a parameter definition. For each parameter	speci‐
	      fied
			on  the command line, if the parameter is found in the
			specified  (or	default)  files,  it  is  modified  to
			reflect	 the  specified value. If the parameter is not
			found, it is added to the specified file(s).

			If a new parameter is being defined, one or more files
			must  be  specified on the command line; the specified
			files  are  those  in  which  the  parameter  will  be
			defined.

	      Remove a parameter definition. For each parameter name specified
			on  the	 command  line,	 remove any occurrence of that
			parameter from the specified file(s).

	      List configuration values. For each parameter specified on the
			command line, output every definition of the parameter
			from  the  specified file(s).  Output consists of only
			the values, one per line.

	      Specify a parameter name or name/value pair. If a name and value
			is expected, but only a name is specified,  the	 value
			will  be set to the empty string.  For example, speci‐
			fying or will result in and respectively.

			Due to shell quoting  rules,  if  you  need  a	quoted
			parameter  value, you must protect the quotes from the
			shell.	For example,

			yields:

			which is an error, whereas,

			yields:

	      Verbose.	When used with the
			option, the option causes a verbose listing to be out‐
			put.  This listing includes a filename followed by the
			entire line containing	the  specified	parameter  for
			each occurrance of the parameter.

	      The	option is used to list all occurances of array parame‐
			ters matching the parameters specified on the  command
			line.

			For example,

			may emit the following output:

	      Normally,	 the  files  specified on the command line are used as
	      specified.
			By specifying a root directory with  the  option,  all
			files  (including the default files if none are speci‐
			fied) will be interpreted relative to root.

			For example, if root is specified as and is  specified
			on the command line, it will be interpreted as

RETURN VALUE
       exits with one of the following values:

	      0	   add/delete/list successful

	      1	   command line syntax/usage error

	      2	   can not access one or more of the listed (or default) files

	      3	   can not open/create/write file

	      4	   memory error

	      5	   no files specified on command line for add option

EXAMPLES
       Files in the directory have the following format:

WARNINGS
       does  not interpret configuration files; it only does pattern matching.
       As a result, if comments appear on lines containing  parameter  defini‐
       tions, the comments will also appear in output when using the option.

       cannot  parse  multiple	parameter  definitions which occur on the same
       line of a file.
