PEAR.CONF(5)

💖 PEAR.CONF(5) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for pear.conf from the File Formats Manual section, and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a lil amuse-bouche. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pear.conf — the configuration file for PEAR applications. that's it, that's the whole name. it's giving setup energy. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so pear.conf is what PEAR applications use to store their configuration. that's its whole job. it holds the config, it minds its business, it does not want to be touched.

🚨 and this is the important part, bestie: this file should not be edited. like. do not open it and start typing. do not "just fix one little thing". do not pass go. 🙈

because the correct way to change anything in here is through the pear command, which hands you these three sub-commands:

• config-show — shows you the config
• config-get — gets you a config value
• config-set — sets a config value

use those. they're the designated drivers of configuration changes. no cap. 🫶

🦋 FILES 🦋

two files, two vibes, both iconic in their own way:

• /etc/pear.conf — the system configuration file. the big one. the one that lives in /etc like it owns the place. 👑
• $HOME/.pearrc — the user configuration file. your personal lil corner of PEAR. tucked away in your home directory, lowkey, private, yours. 💜

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• pear(1)

(go read that one too, iykyk. it's the main character of this whole situation. 🌈)
