What has priority, the command line or the config?

["Karl O. Pinc" <kop@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've read all the docs I can find and nowhere
do I see written what takes priority when yum
is supplied conflicting information.

Among the various ways yum can get a setting,
say some excludes glob patterns, what takes
priority?

The [main] section of the config file?

The repository specific section of the
config file?

The command line?

And is there a priority where old settings
are replaced or are the results cumulative?

I've some guesses but figured it's smarter
to ask for the official documentation.

Thanks.

P.S. I tried searching the list archives via google
as recommended on the wiki but the giant .gz archives
were painful.
