# siege.config(1)

### NAME

`siege`.config - builds a siege.conf template in the user's home directory.

### INTRODUCTION

`siege`'s default settings are stored in `$HOME`/.siege/siege.conf. This  utility will create a new `siege`.conf if one does not already exist. Generally speaking you should not have to run this command with `siege`  releases equal or later to 4.0.0.

At start up, `siege` checks for a `$HOME`/.siege/siege.conf. If  one does not exist, `siege` will run this command to create a new one then read that file to configure itself.

### INVOCATION

The format for invoking siege.config is this:

```
  siege.config [no arguments]
```
