.SH NAME
.PP
toolbox.conf - Toolbox configuration file

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Persistently overrides the default behaviour of \fBtoolbox(1)\fR\&. The syntax is
TOML and the names of the options match their command line counterparts.
Currently, the only supported section is \fIgeneral\fP\&.

.SH OPTIONS
.PP
\fBdistro\fP = "DISTRO"

.PP
Create a toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO than the
host. Cannot be used with \fBimage\fR\&.

.PP
\fBimage\fP = "NAME"

.PP
Change the NAME of the image used to create the toolbox container. This is
useful for creating containers from custom-built images. Cannot be used with
\fBdistro\fR and \fBrelease\fR\&.

.PP
If NAME does not contain a registry, the local image storage will be
consulted, and if it's not present there then it will be pulled from a suitable
remote registry.

.PP
\fBrelease\fP = "RELEASE"

.PP
Create a toolbox container for a different operating system RELEASE than the
host. Cannot be used with \fBimage\fR\&.
