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_HOME
       The per-user user-dirs.conf file is located in this directory. The default is $HOME/.config.
