34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm dm.conf
37.Nd dungeon master configuration file
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41file is the configuration file for the
42.Xr dm 8
43program.
44It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords,
45.Em badtty ,
46.Em game ,
47and
48.Em time .
49All other lines are ignored.
50.Pp
51Any tty listed after the keyword
52.Em badtty
53may not have games played on it.
54Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string
55.Em badtty
56and the ttyname as returned by
57.Xr ttyname 3 .
58For example, to keep the uucp dialout,
59.Dq tty19 ,
60from being used for games, the entry would be:
61.Bd -literal -offset indent
62badtty	/dev/tty19
63.Ed
64.Pp
65Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword
66.Em time
67will disallow games during those hours.
68Entries consist of four white-space separated fields: the string
69.Em time ,
70the unabbreviated day of the week and the beginning and ending time
71of a period of the day when games may not be played.
72The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock.
73For example, the following entry allows games playing before 8AM
74and after 5PM on Mondays:
75.Bd -literal -offset indent
76time	Monday	8	17
77.Ed
78.Pp
79Any game listed after the keyword
80.Em game
81will set parameters for a specific game.
82Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword
83.Em game ,
84the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the
85game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be
86played, and the priority at which the game is to be run.
87Any of these fields may start with a non-numeric character, resulting
88in no game limitation or priority based on that field.
89.Pp
90The game
91.Em default
92controls the settings for any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last
93.Em game
94entry in the file.
95Priorities may not be negative.
96For example, the following entries limits the game
97.Dq hack
98to running only when the system has 10 or less users and a load average of 5
99or less; all other games may be run any time the system has 15 or less users.
100.Bd -literal -offset indent

102game	default		*	15	*
