## Configuration

The configuration location of the `sfn` command is
dependent on the invocation method used. Since the
CLI application can be invoked as a standalone
application, or as a knife subcommand, two styles
of configuration are supported.

### `sfn`-based

Configuration for the `sfn` standalone application
utilizes the bogo-config library. This allows the
configuration file to be defined in multiple formats.
Supported formats:

* Ruby
* YAML
* JSON
* XML

The configuration is contained within a file named
`.sfn`.

### `knife`-based

The `sfn` application includes a plugin for the
[knife][knife] CLI tool. Configuration can be
provided in the `.chef/knife.rb` file and commands
can be accessed via:

~~~
$ knife sparkleformation --help
