Namelist Diff Configuration

Configuration for the namelist diff tool follows the XDG standard. The configuration should be stored in a YAML file.

You can use the function write_default_config to generate a configuration file with the hard-coded defaults. Command line access for this command is available via:

$ nmldiff --write-default-config

The default configuration will be written to ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nmldiff/nmldiff.yaml

Order of Precedence

Configuration is loaded in the following order:

  1. Command line

  2. Config file thats name is declared on the command line.

  3. Environment vars

  4. Local config file (if exists)

  5. Global config file (if exists)

  6. Hard-coded defaults in the code
