8The tool @code{taler-config} can be used to
9extract or manipulate configuration values; however, the configuration
10use the well-known INI file format and can also be edited by hand.
11
12Run
13@example
14$ taler-config -s $SECTION
15@end example
16to list all of the configuration values in section @code{$SECTION}.
17
18Run
19@example
20$ taler-config -s $section -o $option
21@end example
22to extract the respective configuration value for option @code{$option}
23in section @code{$section}.
24
25Finally, to change a setting, run
26@example
27$ taler-config -s $section -o $option -V $value
28@end example
29to set the respective configuration value to @code{$value}. Note that you have to
30manually restart the Taler backend after you change the configuration to
31make the new configuration go into effect.
32
33Some default options will use $-variables, such as @code{$DATADIR}
34within their value. To expand the @code{$DATADIR} or other $-variables
35in the configuration, pass the @code{-f} option to
36@code{taler-config}. For example, compare:
37@example
38$ taler-config -s ACCOUNT-bank \
39 -o WIRE_RESPONSE
40$ taler-config -f -s ACCOUNT-bank \
41 -o WIRE_RESPONSE
42@end example
43
44While the configuration file is typically located at
45@code{$HOME/.config/taler.conf}, an alternative location can be
46specified to @code{taler-merchant-httpd} and @code{taler-config} using
47the @code{-c} option.
