## Environment variables
There are some environment variables which can be set to change threadwatchers behaviour:
| variable name | explanation | default |
| `TW_THREADWATCHER_DIR` | sets location of file with list of threads | `${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/threadwatcher` |
| `TW_AUTOPRUNE` | delete threads out of list if nothing can be found on scan. (Can result in wrong behaviour with unreliable internet connections) | `true` |
| `TW_AUTODEDUPE` | remove duplicates automatically after each scan. (Using sha521 sums) | `false` |
## Requirements
