# get_config

The `get_config` function loads a configuration file.

Configuration files are cached after the first call to `get_config`, to avoid unnecessary disk I/O in the likely event that the same configuration is accessed frequently by subsequent invocations of the Lua script. One cache is maintained per Lua state, so the maximum number of reads for a configuration file is equal to the number of threads that run Lua scripts.

If you do not specify a path, the function returns the configuration file with the same name as the ACI server executable file.

## Syntax

    get_config( [path] )

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`path` | (string) The path of the configuration file to load.

## Returns

(LuaConfig). A LuaConfig object.
