151.SH CONFIGURATION
152.SS "Fetch Structure"
153The structure defines which modules to display and in what order. It consists of module names separated by colons (:).
154For example: \fBtitle:separator:os:kernel:uptime\fR
155
156To list all available modules, use \fB\-\-list\-modules\fR
157
158.SS "Config Files"
159
160Fastfetch uses JSONC for configuration files. JSONC is JSON with support for comments (// and /* */). Configuration files must have the .jsonc extension.
161
162You can generate a default config file using \fB\-\-gen\-config\fR. By default, the config file is saved at \fB~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc\fR.
163
164The configuration/preset files are searched in the following locations (in order):
165
166.RS
167.IP 1. 4
168Relative to the current working directory
169.IP 2. 4
170Relative to ~/.local/share/fastfetch/presets/
171.IP 3. 4
172Relative to /usr/share/fastfetch/presets/
