Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-3183:
-----------------------------------------
Hi [~amol13] sorry I didn't reply to you for so long. If you're still curious
this is the part of the codebase where we assemble the list of config files:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-config/blob/693abb6/src/config_app.erl#L30-L58
You can see that there's a {{couch_ini}} argument in there. We had a PR shortly
before you filed this ticket to allow {{bin/couchdb}} to pass some of these
arguments:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/448
So, that's progress. We may just want to update the documentation to trade
{{-a}} and {{-A}} for {{-couch_ini}}. If I'm reading the code correctly the
{{-couch_ini}} argument will accept both files and directories.

> Key: COUCHDB-3183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3183
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Adam Kocoloski
> Priority: Minor
>
> Our documentation indicates that users can add custom config files and
> directories using the -a and -A flags respectively:
> http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/config/intro.html?highlight=local.d#configuration-files
> We did not carry this capability forward in 2.0. We should either add it back
> in or update the docs.
