getconfig(1) - Linux man page
Name
getconfig - get configuration information for the Xorg serverSynopsis
getconfig [option ...]Description
This implementation of getconfig is written in perl. It processes a prioritized and ordered list of rules supplied internally and from meta-configuration files. The rules are in the form of perl expressions. getconfig writes to standard output the xorg.conf-style configuration data specified by the last highest priority rule that evaluates to true. Information about the format of the meta-configuration files can be found in the getconfig(5x) manual page.
Options
- -I search-path
- Specify the search path to use for meta-config files. search-path is a comma-separated list of directories to search. Each directory in the search path is searched for files with a .cfg suffix. Each such file is opened and checked for a valid signature string. Rules are read from files with a valid signature string and appended to the list of rules to evaluate. If no search path is specified, only the internally supplied configuration rules will be used.

where <modulepath> is the Xorg server's module search path.
