.Os FreeTDS 1.5.9
.Dt FREETDS.CONF "FreeTDS 5" "FreeTDS Reference Manual"
.
.Sh NAME
.Nm freetds.conf
.Nd configuration file for FreeTDS
.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
The 
.Pa freetds.conf
file describes Sybase and Microsoft database servers to the FreeTDS
library.  It comprises sections headed by a servername, followed by a
list of connection properties denoted as name-value pairs.  Defaults
are defined via a
.Bq global
section.  This file supersedes the 
.Pa interfaces
file that
Sybase defines for the same purpose, although the latter is still supported.
.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
A section begins with a servername \(em the name of the server \(em in
square brackets. The servername is chosen at the client's descretion.
(One exception: with Sybase ASA the servername must match the database
name to be used.)
.Pp
Sections contain properties, one per line, in the form
.Pp
.Dl       name = value
.Pp
where
.Ar name
is the connection property to be described.  Servernames and properties
are not case sensitive.  Values are case-preserving i.e., copied literally.
Comments begin with either a semicolon
.Pq So ; Sc
or pound sign
.Pq So # Sc
and continue to end of line.  Blank lines are ignored.  Whitespace surrounding the
.So = Sc is ignored.

.Sh NAMES AND LOCATIONS
The file is normally named
.Pa /etc/freetds.conf
or
.Pa ${HOME}/.freetds.conf .
That name can be overridden with the FREETDSCONF environment variable.
.Pp
FreeTDS will search conf files for a servername in the following order:
.Bl -enum -offset indent -compact
.It
a filename set programmatically via dbsetifile() that is in .conf format
.It
a filename in the environment variable FREETDSCONF that is in .conf format
.It
.Pa ${HOME}/.freetds.conf
if extant
.It
.Pa /opt/cpanel/freetds/etc/freetds.conf
.El
.Pp
The search stops with the first file containing the servername.
.Pp
If no conf file is found, FreeTDS searches for
an
.Pa interfaces
file in the following order:
.Bl -enum -offset indent -compact
.It
a filename set programmatically via dbsetifile() that is in
.Pa interfaces
format
.It
.Pa ${HOME}/.interfaces
.It
.Pa $SYBASE/interfaces
(where
.Ev $SYBASE is an environment variable)
.El
.Pp
If the requested servername is not found in any configuration file, the fallback
mechanism is:
.Bl -enum -offset indent -compact
.It
attempt to convert the name to an IP address with inet_addr(3), else
.It
attempt to convert the name to an IP address with gethostbyname(3), else
.It
attempt to look up the literal name
.Dq SYBASE
.El
.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width "TDSDUMPCONFIG" -compact
.It Ev FREETDSCONF
overrides name and location of the system-wide conf file
.It Ev TDSDUMP
overrides the name and location of the FreeTDS log file
.It Ev TDSDUMPCONFIG

configuration files
.It Ev TDSHOST
overrides the host property
.It Ev TDSPORT

The environment variables
.Ev TDSVER, Ev TDSDUMP, Ev TDSPORT, Ev TDSQUERY, and Ev TDSHOST
override values set by a .conf or

file.
