Any parameter you can specify with `-p <name>=<value>`, you can alternatively specify in `~/.bumblebee-status.conf` or `~/.config/bumblebee-status.conf`. This parameters act as a **fallback**, so values specified with `-p` have priority.
Configuration files have a format like this:
```
$ cat ~/.bumblebee-status.conf
[module-parameters]
<key> = <value>
```
For example:
```
$ cat ~/.bumblebee-status.conf
[module-parameters]

All modules can be given "aliases" using `<module name>:<alias>`, by which they can be parametrized, for example:
```
$ ./bumblebee-status -m disk:root disk:home -p root.path=/ home.path=/home
