Enabling optional config file based on $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, if defined. #1

Closed deliberist closed 2 years ago

deliberist commented 2 years ago

Adding the ability for multitail to optionally use a config file based on the conventions of the XDG Base Directory Specification.

The implementation on this MR should ignore the ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} environment variable if users do not define it. Falling back to the original config file searching implementation. However, if ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} is defined then multitail will search for the config under ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/multitail/config which is the typical location for app specific config files when following the XDG Base Dir Spec.

Also included manpage updates.

Thanks!

Great to see multitail on GitHub.

I was wondering if this PR implements my feature request I send in via mail a couple of years ago.

I think it would be great if you could add multiple files for color schemes. Like in a /etc/multitail.d directory. This would make sharing and adding new color schemes may more easy than adding them to one big file.

I can open a new issue if this PR is about something else. 😄

Hi Christoph,

Can you try the https://github.com/folkertvanheusden/multitail/tree/cfg.d branch? It looks for cfg-files in /etc/multitail/cfg.d

Sorry, but I have not the experience (or time to figure it out) to compile that branch myself.

But I am looking forward to use this feature when it arrives in the repos my distributions use. 😃
