Greetings,
Given that EMBOSS database configurations can come from 4 locations:
- A file emboss.default in the share/EMBOSS subdirectory of your installation
- A file .embossrc in the directory specified by the EMBOSSRC environment variable
- A file .embossrc in the users home directory
- A file .embossrc in the current directory
I think it would be useful, for diagnostic purposes, for a command
like "showdb" to report on what configuration files were read. For
example, "showdb -debug" could contain this information.
(Apologies if this has already been added, I only tried showdb in
EMBOSS-2.5.1.)
Thanks,
David
