Resources

All the behavior of MHonArc is controled by resources. Resources may be set via environment variables (envariables for short), command-line options, and/or elements in a resource file. For information on the syntax of a MHonArc resource file, see the RCFILE resource.


Resource Types

There are four basic types of resources:

boolean

Boolean resources are resources that are either on or off; active or deactive; or true or false. They basically work as flags for controlling MHonArc behavior.

string

The resource represents a string value. How the string value is used depends on the resource.

list

The resource is a list of values. How the list is used depends on the resource.

one-shot

One-shot resources are resources that apply only to the current MHonArc process. You can tell if a resource is a one-shot by checking if the resource cannot be defined by a resource file element. One-shot resources are set only by command-line options or envariables.

A resource's type can be determined by reading the description for the resource.

All resources, except one-shots, are stored with the archive in a simple database. Therefore, after the first time you run MHonArc on an archive, you do not need to respecify the resources. MHonArc will remember your settings so subsequent archive updates are easier to execute.


Resource Index

Each resource is described on its own page. Each resource page uses the following template:

Syntax

Brief synopsis on how the resource can be defined. Command-line options take precedence over resource file elements. Resource file elements take precedence over envariables.

Consult your system's documentation on how to define envariables.

Description

Description of the resource.

Default Setting

The default value of the resource, if applicable.

Resource Variables

Applicable resource variables that can be used for the resource. See RCFILE for information on the usage of resource variables.

Examples

Example uses of the resource.

Version

The version of MHonArc the resource became available.
