<p>Is there a manual for <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-Qt" rel="nofollow">Bitcoin-Qt</a> on the Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X?</p>

<p>Specifically, I'd like to move my <code>wallet.dat</code> to a different folder (a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt" rel="nofollow">TrueCrypt</a> volume) and if/how I may configure <code>bitcoin.conf</code> so that the software autopoints to that folder upon launch. Is it possible to have <code>wallet.dat</code> in one directory and the blockchain files in a separate directory?</p>

<p>Secondarily, I'd like to learn about all possible configuration settings - both from the shell prompt as well as from <code>bitcoin.conf</code>. Can <code>bitcoin.conf</code> contain just one or two lines for desired configuration settings?</p>

# Manual for Bitcoin-Qt on Mac OS X

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-03-28)

Is there a manual for [Bitcoin-Qt](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-Qt) on the Mac OS X?

Specifically, I'd like to move my `wallet.dat` to a different folder (a [TrueCrypt](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt) volume) and if/how I may configure `bitcoin.conf` so that the software autopoints to that folder upon launch. Is it possible to have `wallet.dat` in one directory and the blockchain files in a separate directory?

Secondarily, I'd like to learn about all possible configuration settings - both from the shell prompt as well as from `bitcoin.conf`. Can `bitcoin.conf` contain just one or two lines for desired configuration settings?
