Where does tts store its entry information?

It would be useful to document where tts stores its entries file or database. The README actually references the plain text storage and the ability to bulk-insert entries.

No doubt by now (since last August when you posted your question), you have figured it out. But in case anyone googles here, it looks to me like it is a text file stored at ~/.rttts ..

I must admit that I did not figure that out by being a brilliant code reader. I only figured out it was ~/.rttts by getting a little creative with one of the old swiss knives of Linux commands, "find". I was thinking that whatever the database text storage file was that tts writes, it would hopefully include 'tts' in the name. So I searched for anything with tts in the name from my home directory on down:

$ find ~/ -name '*tts*' -print

This gave me a bunch of files found, but among them was /home/jeff/.rttts. From there, I could go look at the source code (cloned git dir) and look for .rttts in any of the source code files...

$ cd ~/git/tts
$ grep ".rttts" *.c *.h
tts.c:#define STATFILE ".rttts"

and then, seeing that, notice that it was aliased to "STATFILE" and then in the same way look again for all the places that STATFILE is referred to:

$ grep STATFILE *.c *.h
tts.c:#define STATFILE ".rttts"
tts.c:  snprintf(statfile, sizeof(statfile), "%s/%s", pw->pw_dir, STATFILE);
$ _

Hope this helps. (I agree. Could use some README love.)
