SYNOPSIS
========

oblige [*-options*] [*key=value* *...*]

DESCRIPTION
===========

**oblige** creates a patch WAD file for use with Doom or Doom II,
containing one or more randomly-generated levels. The generated WAD
files are ready to play (no separate node-building pass is needed).

Normally, **oblige** is controlled by its GUI, but it can be used
noninteractively (see the **-b** option below).

OPTIONS
=======

--home <dir>
  Home directory, where **oblige** looks for its config file, and creates
  temporary files. Default is *~/.oblige*.

--install <dir>
  Installation directory, where **oblige** looks for lua scripts and other
  data. Default is */usr/share/oblige*.

--config <file>
  Config file to use. Default is *~/.oblige/CONFIG.txt* in GUI mode, none in
  **--batch** mode.

--batch, **-b** *<output>*
  Batch mode (no GUI). Uses built-in default config (never reads the
  normal config file used by the GUI), but the **--load** option can be
  used to override the defaults. *output* will be a PWAD file and will
  be overwritten without prompting if it exists.

--load, **-l** *<file>*
  Load settings from a file. This is in the same format as
  *~/.oblige/CONFIG.txt*, and any settings in the loaded file will override
  the ones there. In **--batch** mode, "**--load ~/.oblige/CONFIG.txt**"
  will generate levels according to the settings configured by the GUI.

--keep, -k
  Keep random seed from loaded settings. Normally the seed stored in the
  config file is ignored, and a new seed is generated.

--debug, -d
  Enable verbose debugging messages in log.

--terminal, -t
  Print log messages to stdout (rather than *~/.oblige/LOGS.txt*). Disabled
  by default, unless in **--batch** mode.

--help, -h
  Show built-in help message.

**key=value**
  Override setting from CONFIG.txt. May be given multiple times.
