[gentoo-user][awesome] where can i find a default rc.lua

[Xi Shen]

Hi,

i am new to awesome, after i have successfully emerged
awesome-3.2.1-r3, and started the X, i cannot find the default rc.lua.
i tried right-clicking on the blank area and choose 'awesome'->'edit
config', but it gives me a file with nothing; actually, the file which
the editor trying to open '/root/.config/awesome/rc.lua' does not
exist at all.

please point me to the right direction.

I've never used awesome before, but google rc.lua comes up with some examples.

/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua

emerge app-portage/portage-utils and then man q.  It has some helpful tools.
