Pigallery 2 man page

pigallery2 uses typeconfig for configuration

npm start -- --help prints the following:

Usage: <appname> [options] 

Meta cli options: 
--help                           prints this manual 
--config-path                    sets the config file location 
--config-attachState             prints the value state (default, readonly, volatile, etc..) to the config file 
--config-attachDesc              prints description to the config file 
--config-rewrite-cli             updates the config file with the options from cli switches 
--config-rewrite-env             updates the config file with the options from environmental variables 
--config-string-enum             enums are stored as string in the config file (instead of numbers) 
--config-save-if-not-exist       creates config file if not exist 
--config-save-and-exist          creates config file and terminates 

<appname> can be configured through the configuration file, cli switches and environmental variables. 
All settings are case sensitive. 
Example for setting config MyConf through cli: '<appname> --MyConf=5' 
and through env variable: 'SET MyConf=5' . 

Default values can be also overwritten by prefixing the options with 'default-', 
 like '<appname> --default-MyConf=5' and  'SET default-MyConf=5'
