-.SH "Specifying Configuration Parameters"
-On The Command\-Line +++++++++++++++++++ Every Puppet executable (with the exception of \fBpuppetdoc\fR) accepts all of the parameters below, but not all of the arguments make sense for every executable\.
-.
-.P
-I have tried to be as thorough as possible in the descriptions of the arguments, so it should be obvious whether an argument is appropriate or not\.
-.
-.P
-These parameters can be supplied to the executables either as command\-line options or in the configuration file\. For instance, the command\-line invocation below would set the configuration directory to \fB/private/puppet\fR:
-.

-Configuration Files +++++++++++++++++++
-.
-.P
-As mentioned above, the configuration parameters can also be stored in a configuration file, located in the configuration directory\. As root, the default configuration directory is \fB/etc/puppet\fR, and as a regular user, the default configuration directory is \fB~user/\.puppet\fR\. As of 0\.23\.0, all executables look for \fBpuppet\.conf\fR in their configuration directory (although they previously looked for separate files)\. For example, \fBpuppet\.conf\fR is located at \fB/etc/puppet/puppet\.conf\fR as \fBroot\fR and \fB~user/\.puppet/puppet\.conf\fR as a regular user by default\.
-.
-.P
-All executables will set any parameters set within the \fB[main]\fR section, and each executable will also use one of the \fB[master]\fR, \fB[agent]\fR\.
