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. It is used to log communication between this engine and any chess GUI. Might be handy for debugging errors.
