=head1 Description

You can query/set/replace/unset Sqitch options with this command. The name is
actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be
escaped.

Multiple lines can be added to an option by using the C<--add> option. If you
want to update or unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, a Perl
regular expression C<value_regex> needs to be given. Only the existing values
that match the regex will be updated or unset. If you want to handle lines
that do not match the regex, just prepend a single C<!> (exclamation point) in
front (see L<Examples>).

The C<type> specifier can be C<--int>, C<--num>, or C<--bool>, to ensure that
the variable(s) are of the given type and convert the value to the canonical
form (simple integer for C<--int>, decimal number for C<--num>, a "true" or
"false" string for C<--bool>) If no type specifier is passed, no checks or
transformations are performed on the value.

The C<file-option> can be one of C<--local>, C<--user>, C<--system>, or
C<--file>, which specify where the values will be read from or written to. The
default is to assume the local config file in the current project directory,
for editing, and the all files merged for fetching (see L</Files>).

=begin comment

XXX Need to implmenent these.

This command will fail (with exit code ret) if:

=over

=item 1.

The config file is invalid (ret=3)

=item 2.

Cannot write to the config file (ret=4)

=item 3.

No section or name was provided (ret=2)

=item 4.

The section or key is invalid (ret=1)

=item 5.

You try to unset an option which does not exist (ret=5)

=item 6.

You try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match (ret=5)

=item 7.

You try to use an invalid regexp (ret=6)

=item 8.

You use C<--user> option without C<$HOME> being properly set (ret=128)

  ; Bundle command settings.
  [bundle]
          from      = gamma
          tags_only = false
          dest_dir  = _build/sql

  ; Fuzzle command settings
  [core "fuzzle"]
          clack        = foo
          clack        = bar
          clack        = barzlewidth

You can set the C<tags_only> setting to true with

  % sqitch config bundle.tags_only true

The hypothetical C<clack> key in the C<core.fuzzle> section might need to set
C<foo> to "hi" instead of "foo". You can make the replacement by passing an
additional argument to match the old value, which will be evaluated as a
regular expression. Here's one way to make that change:

  % sqitch config core.fuzzle.clack hi '^foo$'

To delete the entry for C<bundle.from>, do

  % sqitch config --unset bundle.from

If you want to delete an entry for a multivalue setting (like
C<core.fuzzle.clack>), provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line.
This example deletes the "bar" value:

  % sqitch config --unset core.fuzzle.clack '^bar$'

To query the value for a given key, do:

  % sqitch config --get core.engine

Or:

  % sqitch config core.engine

Or, to query a multivalue setting for only those values that match C</ba/>:

  % sqitch config --get core.fuzzle.clack ba

If you want to know all the values for a multivalue setting, do:

  % sqitch config --get-all core.fuzzle.clack

If you like to live dangerously, you can replace all C<core.fuzzle.clack> with a
new one with

  % sqitch config --replace-all core.fuzzle.clack funk

However, if you only want to replace lines that don't match C<bar>, prepend
the matching regular expression with an exclamation point (C<!>), like so:

  % sqitch config --replace-all core.fuzzle.clack yow '!bar'

To match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to escape it:

  % sqitch config section.key '[!]'

To add a new setting without altering any of the existing ones, use:

  % sqitch config --add core.fuzzle.set widget=fred

=head1 Configuration File

The sqitch configuration file contains a number of variables that affect the
sqitch command's behavior. The F<./sqitch.conf> file local to each project is
used to store the configuration for that project, and
F<$HOME/.sqitch/sqitch.conf> is used to store a per-user configuration as
fallback values for the F<./sqitch.conf> file. The file
F<$($etc_prefix)/sqitch.conf> can be used to store a system-wide default
configuration.

The variables are divided into sections, wherein the fully qualified variable
name of the variable itself is the last dot-separated segment and the section
name is everything before the last dot. The variable names are
case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric characters and -, and must start
with an alphabetic character. Some variables may appear multiple times.

=head2 Syntax

The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; white space is mostly ignored.
The C<#> and C<;> characters begin comments to the end of line, blank lines
are ignored.

The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with the name of
the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins.
Section names are not case sensitive. Only alphanumeric characters, C<-> and
C<.> are allowed in section names. Each variable must belong to some section,
which means that there must be a section header before the first setting of a
variable.

Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection put
its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name, in the
section header, like in the example below:

     [section "subsection"]

Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
newline (double quote and backslash have to be escaped as C<\"> and C<\\>,
respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple lines. Variables may
belong directly to a section or to a given subsection. You can have
C<[section]> if you have C<[section "subsection"]>, but you don't need to.

All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section header)
are recognized as setting variables, in the form C<name = value>. If there is
no equal sign on the line, the entire line is taken as name and the variable
is recognized as boolean C<true>. The variable names are case-insensitive,
allow only alphanumeric characters and C<->, and must start with an alphabetic
character. There can be more than one value for a given variable; we say then
that the variable is multivalued.

Leading and trailing whitespace in a variable value is discarded. Internal
whitespace within a variable value is retained verbatim.

The values following the equals sign in variable assignments are either
strings, integers, numbers, or booleans. Boolean values may be given as
yes/no, 1/0, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values,
when converting value to the canonical form using the C<--bool> type
specifier; C<sqitch config> will ensure that the output is "true" or "false".

String values may be entirely or partially enclosed in double quotes. You need
to enclose variable values in double quotes if you want to preserve leading or
trailing whitespace, or if the variable value contains comment characters
(i.e. it contains C<#> or C<;>). Double quote and backslash characters in
variable values must be escaped: use C<\"> for C<"> and C<\\> for C<\>.

The following escape sequences (beside C<\"> and C<\\>) are recognized: C<\n>
for newline character (NL), C<\t> for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB) and
C<\b> for backspace (BS). No other character escape sequence or octal
character sequence is valid.

Variable values ending in a C<\> are continued on the next line in the
customary UNIX fashion.

Some variables may require a special value format.
