Note that there are lower-level interfaces (and more options to these interfaces) for more sophisticated use.
## Configuration File
lightningd can be configured either by passing options via the command line, or via a configuration file. Command line options will always override the values in the configuration file.
To use a configuration file, create a file named "config" within your ".lightning" directory. Usually this will be ~/.lightning/config
Configuration options are set using a key=value pair on each line of the file, for example:
```
alias=SLEEPYDRAGON
rgb=008000
port=9735
network=testnet
```
For a full list of possible lightningd configuration options, run:
```
lightningd/lightningd --help
```
## Further information
JSON-RPC interface is documented in the following manual pages:
