Where Is the Tio Config File?
Tio serial INI config with profile sections and lookup order.
Last updated
Tio reads one INI with profile sections from the first path that exists. XDG config leads with home fallbacks behind. Man pages plus README pin the order.
CLI values beat file values at runtime. Keep backup to the live file.
Where Tio stores this, by platform
~/.config/tio/config
Single INI with profile sections, first-found across XDG and home fallbacks. Basename is config. CLI overrides file. Linux only.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Tio?
Copy the config file with no session running. Profiles travel as sections inside it. Restoring means putting the file back before launch. CLI flags override file values.
Which filename is real?
First found wins across XDG, home config and dot fallback. The basename is config, not tioconfig. Guides naming the wrong file describe nothing.
