+.IX Header "INIT FILE"
+When virt-top starts up, it reads initial settings from the
+file \fI.virt\-toprc\fR in the user's home directory.
+.PP
+The name of this file may be overridden using the \fI\-\-init\-file
+filename\fR command line option or may be disabled entirely using
+\&\fI\-\-no\-init\-file\fR.
+.PP
+The init file has a simple format. Blank lines and comments
+beginning with \fI#\fR are ignored. Everything else is a set of
+\&\fIkey value\fR pairs, described below.
