# src/conky.cc, set_current_config(): it stats to_real_path(XDG_CONFIG_FILE),

# then to_real_path(CONFIG_FILE), then SYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE, and takes the first

# that exists. cmake/ConkyBuildOptions.cmake defines the first two:

# set(XDG_CONFIG_FILE "$HOME/.config/conky/conky.conf" ...)

# set(CONFIG_FILE "$HOME/.conkyrc" ...)

# conky(1) says the same: "The default configuration file location is

# ~/.config/conky/conky.conf or ${sysconfdir}/conky/conky.conf."

# Note the literal spelling: the build joins $HOME with ".config/conky", it does

# not read $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, so [configHome] would name a directory conky never

# opens on a machine that has moved its XDG directories. The third candidate is

# /etc/conky/conky.conf, which is system-wide and not listed here.

# A conky config is a Lua table of display settings plus the text to render. It

# holds no credential of conky's own — the IMAP and POP3 objects take their

# login as arguments inside that text, which is why a consumer scanning content

# still has something to find, but there is no credential *file*.

secret = []

# No machine_lines. A conky config is almost entirely appearance — alignment,

# gap, font, colours, update interval — which is what a user wants carried. The

# one machine-shaped thing is the network interface named inside ${downspeed …}

# and friends, and those are arguments in the middle of the TEXT block rather

# than lines of their own, so no prefix reaches them.
