OPTION PRESETS
Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by load‐
ing values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from
environment variables named:
NTP_KEYGEN_<option-name> or NTP_KEYGEN
The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than)
the configuration files. The homerc files are "$HOME", and ".". If
any of these are directories, then the file .ntprc is searched for
within those directories.
