# Flags

!!! Warning

    This section is in progress, and is just copied from the old documentation.

You can configure flags by putting them in `[flags]` table. Example:

```toml
[flags]
hide_avg_cpu = true
```

Most of the [command line flags](../command-line-options.md) have config file equivalents to avoid having to type them out
each time:

| Field                        | Type                                                                                                               | Functionality                                                                                                                |
