    129 - updated the README
    130 - added a manpage (src/dotfm.1), which is installed with dotfm in the Makefile
    131 
    132 _DOTFM CSV FILE_
    133 
    134 dotfm now tracks dotfiles that it installs symlinks for in a file. This file is currently stored at _~/.local/dotfm/installed.csv_. The file has the following structure:
    135 
    136 	<location>,<alias>,<alias>,....
    137 
    138 **location** is the location dotfm installed the dotfile to (the symlink pointing to the source dotfile).
    139 
    140 **alias** these are strings that dotfm uses to recognise the related dotfile (e.g. you could use "brc" as an alias for your bashrc and call "dotfm edit brc")
    141 
    142 _KNOWN DOTFILES_
    143 
    144 _DOTFILE LOCATIONS_ has been refactored into _KNOWN DOTFILES_, it follows the same structure as the DOTFM CSV FILE (see above).
    145 
    146 The purpose of this array is now to act as a knowledge base for all the location to install dotfiles to and any names that they sohuld be recognised under that dotfm recognises.
    147 
    148 If a dotfile is within this array, dotfm will know where to install the relevant dotfile automatically and allow you to call it with the preset aliases. Don't be scared to modify this array to modify this to your hearts content.
    149 
    150 If a dotfile is not present within this array then you'll be prompted for the install location of the dotfile and any aliases you want to allow dotfm to recognise it under.
    151 This won't be added to KNOWN DOTFILES, but _will_ be appended to DOTFM CSV FILE.
    152 
    153 _dotfm init_
    154 
    155 This is a function that runs at the start of every runtime, it checks if the _DOTFM CSV FILE_ is present:
    156 If it is, it's contents are loaded into memory;
    157 If it isn't, then the user is prompted where they would like to create it and the file is created with itself as the first entry.
    158 
    159 _dotfm install_
    160 
    161 Now if a dotfile is not recognsied in the KNOWN\_DOTFILES array, the user will be prompted asking where to install it to and what aliases to recognise it under.
    162 
    163 Multiple dotfiles can be passed to _dotfm install_, e.g.
    164 
    165 	dotfm install ./bashrc ./profile ./tmux.conf
    166 
    167 _dotfm remove_
    168 
    169 dotfm remove will now also remove the file from the _DOTFM CSV FILE_
    170 
    171 _dotfm list_
    172 
    173 Minor changes to dotfm list printout format. Will also print even if running in quiet mode.
    174 
    175 dotfm list now **lists all installed dotfiles by default**, and only lists specifc dotfiles if specified.
    176 
    177 ---
    178 
    179 **v1.0.3**
    180 
    181 - added "-q", "--quiet" argument, using it reduces printed logs
    182   "dotfm list" will still print the file location (one line each), e.g.:
    183 	
    184 	/home/gearsix/.bashrc
    185 	/home/gearsix/.profile
    186 	/home/gearsix/.bash\_profile
    187 	...
    188 
    189 - added CHANGELOG
    190 - updated LICENSE to BSD 4-Clause
    191 - added sfeed to DOTFILE\_LOCATIONS
    192 - added TODO items
