Configuration options

This page discussed runtime configuration options for MDAL, and is distinct from options to the build-time configure script. Runtime configuration options apply on all platforms, and are evaluated at runtime. They can be set programmatically, by commandline switches or in the environment by the user.

Configuration options are normally used to alter the default behavior of MDAL drivers and in some cases the MDAL core. They are essentially global variables the user can set.

How to set configuration options ?

TODO

List of configuration options and where they apply

Note

This list is known to be incomplete. It depends on proper annotation of configuration options where they are mentionned elsewhere in the documentation. If you want to help to extend it, use the :decl_configoption:`NAME` syntax in places where a configuration option is mentionned.
