okay so real talk, this is the manual page for siege.config, which lives in the siege.config utility section of your manpages and is filed under SIEGE.CONFIG(1) 💅 iykyk

🎀 NAME 🎀

siege.config — builds a siege.conf template in the user's home directory. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and she ATE 💖

---

🌸 INTRODUCTION 🌸

so, siege's default settings are stored in $HOME/.siege/siege.conf. this little utility will create a new siege.conf if one does not already exist. noted. filed. slay ✨

generally speaking you should not have to run this command with siege releases equal or later to 4.0.0. like, genuinely, she handles that herself now, no cap.

here's the vibe: at start up, siege checks for a $HOME/.siege/siege.conf. if one does not exist, siege will run this command to create a new one, then read that file to configure itself. so she's out here bootstrapping her own config, main character energy fr fr 👑

🦋 INVOCATION 🦋

the format for invoking siege.config is this:

siege.config [no arguments]

that's the whole synopsis. [no arguments]. she takes zero notes, zero flags, zero drama. iconic behaviour honestly 🎀
