### 2.2 Changing the Output File Name

‘`--output-file=file`’
  This option instructs `ebrowse` to generate a Lisp data base with name file. By default, the data base is named `BROWSE`, and is written in the directory in which `ebrowse` is invoked.

  If you regularly use data base names different from the default, you might want to add this to your init file:

                (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(NAME . ebrowse-tree-mode))

  where NAME is the Lisp data base name you are using.

‘`--append`’
  By default, each run of `ebrowse` erases the old contents of the output file when writing to it. You can instruct `ebrowse` to append its output to an existing file produced by `ebrowse` with this command line option.
