    \title config
    \brief Manages \QBS settings, such as preferences and profiles.

    \section1 Synopsis

    \code
    qbs config [--settings-dir <directory>] [--list [<root> ...]]
               [--unset <key>] [--export <file>] [--import <file>]
    qbs config [--settings-dir <directory>] <key>
    qbs config [--settings-dir <directory>] <key> <value>
    \endcode

    \section1 Description

    Manages \QBS settings, such as preferences and profiles. You can list all
    keys and remove the specified key, as well as import settings from a file
    or export them to a file.

    The second form of this command displays the specified \c <key>.

    The third form sets the specified \c <key> with the specified \c <value>.

    You can use the \l{config-ui} command to open the Qbs Settings tool for
    managing settings in a hierarchical view.

    For more information, see \l{Configuring}, \l{Managing Qt Versions},
    \l{Modules}, \l {List of Modules}, and \l{Custom Modules and Items}.

    \section1 Options

    \include cli-options.qdocinc settings-dir
    \include cli-options.qdocinc list-root
    \include cli-options.qdocinc unset
    \include cli-options.qdocinc export
    \include cli-options.qdocinc import
    \include cli-options.qdocinc help

    \section1 Parameters

    \include cli-parameters.qdocinc key

    \section1 Examples

    Lists the existing profiles:

    \code
    qbs config --list profiles
    \endcode

    Shows the default profile:

    \code
    qbs config defaultProfile
    \endcode

    \note If no output is shown, the default profile used is the built-in
    profile \c none, which sets no properties.

    Sets the profile called \c gcc as the base profile of the Qt profile called
    \c myqt:

    \code
    qbs config profiles.myqt.baseProfile gcc
    \endcode

    Adds the location of a custom module to your preferences, to make the module
    accessible in several projects:

    \code
    qbs config preferences.qbsSearchPaths /usr/local/share/custom-qbs-extensions
    \endcode
