okay so. hi. welcome to inifile, aka the OpenLink Virtuoso Opensource ini File Editor, and yes that's a lot of capital letters but we're gonna get through this together. this is the inifile manual page, and I'm gonna tell you everything it tells you, just with, like, actual personality. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

inifile — OpenLink Virtuoso Opensource ini File Editor

like. it edits the ini file. that's the whole gig. 🫶

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

inifile [-fcnskv] [+inifile arg] [+create] [+nocreate] [+section arg]
        [+key arg] [+value arg]
inifile [+help]

look at those little plus-signs. so vintage. so iconic. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

real talk: this manual page documents briefly the inifile command. briefly. that's the word they used. no cap.

and here's the lore, bestie: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has documentation in the 'doc' VAD package. so if you're wondering "why is this page like this," that's why. 🦋

inifile is the OpenLink Virtuoso server.

okay that sentence is short and load-bearing and I'm not gonna add anything to it, because the original doesn't. periodt.

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

here's a summary of options, below. for a complete description, go see the 'doc' VAD package. (not a hint, just literally where the real docs live, iykyk.)

  • +inifile — use this ini file
  • +create — create the ini file if it does not exist (this is the default, so it's already doing this unless you say otherwise)
  • +nocreate — do NOT create the ini file if it does not exist
  • +section — name of the section
  • +key — name of the key
  • +value — the value you want to write

that's the whole list. six little plus-things. obsessed. 🔥

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • /etc/virtuoso/virtuoso.ini — The configuration file to control the behaviour of the main instance of inifile.

yes, it's in /etc. yes, it's the main instance's config. treat it with respect, she's important. 👑

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

The programs are documented fully by the 'doc' VAD package.

(yeah, same package as before. it's doing a lot of heavy lifting on this page and honestly? respect. 💀)

ngl, this page is short because the original page is short. I didn't skip anything, I promise. every flag, every path, every line — all here. 💖

okay that's the whole thing!! this page came from the Debian-packaged inifile man page, dated 24 July 2026, and it's the INIFILE(1) page from the thing itself — mwah 💅✨ go edit ur ini file, bestie, you got this 🎀
