<para>The options below may be given on the command line, but may also

be placed in a config file located at

<option>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mosquitto_pub</option> or
|
|
<option>$HOME/.config/mosquitto_sub</option> with one pair of
|
|
<option>-option <replaceable>value</replaceable></option>
|
|
per line. The values in the config file will be used as defaults
|
|
and can be overridden by using the command line. The exceptions to
|
|
this are the message type options, of which only one can be
|
|
specified. Note also that currently some options cannot be negated,
|
|
e.g. <option>-S</option>. Config file lines that have a

<option>#</option> as the first character are treated as comments
