Context: py.chips

Synopsis

Saves ChIPS preferences to a file.

Syntax

save_preferences([filename])

Description

filename - output preferences file.

The save_preferences command saves ChIPS preferences to the specified file. If no filename is supplied, ChIPS attempts to save to "$HOME/.chips.rc".

If the output file exists, ChIPS behavior is determined by the value of the export.clobber preference. If export.clobber is set to true, ChIPS will attempt to overwrite the existing file.

The preferences can be loaded into a new ChIPS session with the load_preferences command.

See "ahelp preferences" for general information on the attribute values and settings in ChIPS.

chips> save_preferences("/some/path/chips.pref")
