.SH FILES
Configuration files are searched for in the \fIautorandr
\fRdirectory in the colon separated list of paths in \fI$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
\fR- or in \fI/etc/xdg
\fRif that var is not set.  They are then looked for in \fI~/.autorandr
\fRand if that doesn't exist, in \fI$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autorandr
\fRor in \fI~/.config/autorandr\fR if that var is unset.

In each of those directories it looks for directories with \fIconfig\fR and
\fIsetup\fR in them.  It is best to manage these files with the
\fBautorandr\fR utility.
