**`-config (string : <required>)`**

Path to a single
[Vault Agent configuration file](/vault/docs/agent-and-proxy/agent#configuration-file-options)
or directory of configuration files with agent directives. Repeat the `-config`
flag as needed to specify more than one discrete configuration file. If you
specify more than one configuration file, Agent composes the source files into
a single configuration file at runtime.

**Example**: `-config /path/to/file.hcl`
