$ nochetoengi --help
Nocheng (Noidea Chess Engine) 2.7.1.1928M, Ubuntu19_10, author: Petr Bílek (nocheto.sallyx.org)
USAGE: nochetoengi [-h|--help] [-o|--owner] [-d|--debug] [-c|--config <file.ini>] [-l|--log-file <logfile.txt>]
	file.ini    - Read configuration from this file (after reading nocheto.ini)

Debug

Use --debug to debug nochetodbeval. This is for developing purposes only, you probably wouldn't need it.

Config

Use --config filename.ini to read configuration file.

Nochetoengi always reads ~/.nocheto/configs/nocheto.ini file first and then the file required by --config option. Values read from the first config file are replaced by values read from the second one (if they are defined there).

The filename can be absolute path (i.e. ~/.nocheto/configs/tweak.ini) or just a basename (i.e. tweak.ini) in which case the full path is assembled from this basename and ~/.nocheto/configs/.

There is nothing you can configure with config file in this nochetoengine version. Therfore, this option is useless (for now).

Logfile

Use --log-file logfile.txt to log UCI communication into the given file. It is used to log communication between this engine and any chess GUI. Might be handy for debugging errors.

See also logfile configuration property.
