Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 48 | obtains configuration data from the following sources in |

| 62 | For each parameter, the first obtained value |
| 63 | will be used. |
Darren Tucker | 43d8e28 | 2005-02-09 09:51:08 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | The configuration files contain sections separated by |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 65 | .Dq Host |
| 66 | specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that |
| 67 | match one of the patterns given in the specification. |
djm@openbsd.org | 957fbce | 2014-10-08 22:20:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | The matched host name is usually the one given on the command line |
| 69 | (see the |
| 70 | .Cm CanonicalizeHostname |
| 71 | option for exceptions.) |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 72 | .Pp |
| 73 | Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more |
| 74 | host-specific declarations should be given near the beginning of the |
| 75 | file, and general defaults at the end. |
| 76 | .Pp |
| 77 | The configuration file has the following format: |
| 78 | .Pp |
| 79 | Empty lines and lines starting with |
| 80 | .Ql # |
| 81 | are comments. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 82 | Otherwise a line is of the format |
| 83 | .Dq keyword arguments . |
| 84 | Configuration options may be separated by whitespace or |
| 85 | optional whitespace and exactly one |
| 86 | .Ql = ; |
| 87 | the latter format is useful to avoid the need to quote whitespace |
| 88 | when specifying configuration options using the |
| 89 | .Nm ssh , |
Damien Miller | 4aea974 | 2006-03-15 11:59:39 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 90 | .Nm scp , |

| 93 | .Fl o |
| 94 | option. |
Damien Miller | 306d118 | 2006-03-15 12:05:59 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 95 | Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes |
| 96 | .Pq \&" |
| 97 | in order to represent arguments containing spaces. |

| 99 | The possible |
| 100 | keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that |
| 101 | keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive): |
| 102 | .Bl -tag -width Ds |
| 103 | .It Cm Host |
| 104 | Restricts the following declarations (up to the next |
| 105 | .Cm Host |
Damien Miller | 194fd90 | 2013-10-15 12:13:05 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 106 | or |

Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 108 | keyword) to be only for those hosts that match one of the patterns |
| 109 | given after the keyword. |
Damien Miller | fa51b16 | 2008-11-03 19:17:33 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 110 | If more than one pattern is provided, they should be separated by whitespace. |

Damien Miller | 208f1ed | 2006-03-15 11:56:03 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 112 | .Ql * |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 113 | as a pattern can be used to provide global |
| 114 | defaults for all hosts. |
djm@openbsd.org | 957fbce | 2014-10-08 22:20:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 115 | The host is usually the |

djm@openbsd.org | 957fbce | 2014-10-08 22:20:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 117 | argument given on the command line |
| 118 | (see the |
| 119 | .Cm CanonicalizeHostname |
| 120 | option for exceptions.) |
Damien Miller | f54a4b9 | 2006-03-15 11:54:36 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 121 | .Pp |
Damien Miller | fe92421 | 2011-05-15 08:44:45 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 122 | A pattern entry may be negated by prefixing it with an exclamation mark |
| 123 | .Pq Sq !\& . |
| 124 | If a negated entry is matched, then the |
| 125 | .Cm Host |
| 126 | entry is ignored, regardless of whether any other patterns on the line |
| 127 | match. |
| 128 | Negated matches are therefore useful to provide exceptions for wildcard |
| 129 | matches. |
