$ nochetoengi --help
Nocheng (Noidea Chess Engine) 2.1.0, 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)
        logfile.txt - file to append UCI communication

Debug

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

Config

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

Nochetoengi always read ~/.nocheto/configs/nocheto.ini file first and then the file required by --config option. So you can use this to create ini configuration with different configuration for different usage.

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. Therfore, this option is useless (for now).

Logfile

Use --log-file logfile.txt to log UCI communication into 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.

Owner2.1.0

Use --owner to print owners credentials.
