NAME
       user-dirs.conf - configuration for xdg-user-dirs-update

DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf file is a text file that controls the
       behavior of the xdg-user-dirs-update command. Users can have their own
       ~/.config/user-dirs.conf file, which overrides the system-wide
       configuration.

       The following keys are recognised:

       enabled=boolean
           When set to False, xdg-user-dirs-update will not change the XDG
           user dirs configuration.

       filename_encoding=encoding
           This sets the filename encoding to use.  encoding can be an
           explicit encoding name, such as UTF-8, or "locale", which means the
           encoding of the users locale will be used.

       Lines beginning with a # character are ignored.

ENVIRONMENT
       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

           The default is /etc/xdg.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
           The per-user user-dirs.conf file is located in this directory. The
