iquery Configuration

You can create a JSON formatted configuration file to save and restore your iquery configuration. Store the file in ~/.config/scidb/iquery.conf.

Once you create and store this file, it automatically loads the next time you start iquery.

The configuration file can contain the following options:

Option	Description
host	Host name for the cluster instance. Default is localhost.
port	Port for connection. Default is 1239.
afl	Start the session with the AFL command line.
auth-file	Name of a JSON or INI format file containing login credentials. The default is ~/.config/scidb/iquery.auth . See Using iquery in Security Mode.
timer	Report query run-time (in seconds).
verbose	Print debug information.
format	Set the default format of query output. See save for allowable values. The default format is dcsv.
plugins	Path to the plugins directory.

For example, your iquery.conf file might look like this:

{
"host":"myhostname",
"port":9999,
"afl":true,
"timer":false,
"verbose":false,
"format":"csv+"
"auth-file":"/home/scidb/.my_auth_file"
 }

The opening and closing braces at the beginning and end of the file are required and follow each entry (except the last one) with a comma.
