ncid.conf - Man Page

The ncid.conf file contains the configuration information for ncid, the Network Caller ID Client.

The ncid.conf file is a tcl/tk configuration file used to set options.

The ncid.conf file understands 3 types of lines:

blank line:     ignored
comment line:   beginning with '#' and is ignored
shell variable: set to a value, for example: foo=bar

See the ncid.conf file for a complete list of variables to set and what the default values are.
