#21151: man page lists wrong default for DataDirectory ------------------------------+----------------- Reporter: arma | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------+----------------- In my doc/tor.1 in my git checkout, I have {{{ DataDirectory DIR Store working data in DIR (Default: /usr/local/var/lib/tor) }}}
Apparently the underlying code (in tor.1.txt) is {{{ [[DataDirectory]] **DataDirectory** __DIR__:: Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor) }}} It looks like if DataDirectory remains unset (which is the default), on Windows you get {{{ get_windows_conf_root() }}} whereas on other platforms, you get {{{ d = "~/.tor"; }}} and then it's only if you're running as root that you get {{{ fn = tor_strdup(LOCALSTATEDIR PATH_SEPARATOR "tor"); }}} But I admit that all of this is confusing, because we have functions like {{{find_torrc_filename()}}} and {{{get_default_conf_file()}}} and {{{get_torrc_fname()}}} so it's hard to say for sure. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21151> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
