Client Configuration File and Command-Line Options

Ssh2 reads configuration data from /etc/ssh2/ssh2_config and from $HOME/.ssh2/ssh2_config (or the file specified with the -F option on the command line). The last-obtained value will prevail.

The file contains keyword-value pairs, one per line. Lines starting with the number sign (#) as well as empty lines are interpreted as comments. For detailed information about the options available in the configuration file and on the command line, please refer to the ssh2_config(5) and ssh2(5) manual pages.
