# Padre::Startup(3pm)

Padre start-up related configuration settings

## NAME

Padre::Startup - Padre start-up related configuration settings

## DESCRIPTION

Padre stores host-related data in a combination of an easily transportable YAML file for personal settings and a powerful and robust SQLite-based configuration database for host settings and state data.

Unfortunately, fully loading and validating these configurations can be relatively expensive and may take some time. A limited number of these settings need to be available extremely early in the Padre bootstrapping process.

The *startup.yml* file is automatically written at the same time as the regular configuration files, and is read without validating during early start-up.

Padre::Startup::Config is a small convenience module for reading and writing the *startup.yml* file.
