+\note This command does not usually need to be called directly. It is used
+ internally by other higher level commands, but projects wishing to
+ implement more customized deployment logic may find it useful.

+\section1 Description
+
+Use this command when you need to generate a \l{Using qt.conf}{qt.conf} file
+during deployment. The default value of any path supported by \c{qt.conf} can
+be overridden with the corresponding \c{..._DIR} option. The command will only
+write a path to the generated \c{qt.conf} file if it differs from the default
+value.
+The default values can be found at \l{Overriding Paths}.
+
+The \c file_path argument expects an absolute path to the location where the
+\c qt.conf file should be written to. The \l{QT_DEPLOY_PREFIX} and \l{QT_DEPLOY_BIN_DIR}
+variables can be used to dynamically specify a path relative to the deployment binary directory,
+as shown in the example below. This helps avoid hard-coding an absolute path.
