-RTV will read a configuration file located at **~/.rtv**.
+RTV will read a configuration file located at ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rtv/rtv.cfg`` or ``~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg`` if ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set.
 This can be used to avoid having to re-enter login credentials every time the program is launched.
