The effect is the same as above, inside the `profile` directory. However, this is usually not what you want unless you are testing a build of qBittorrent you've compiled yourself in a directory that does not require elevated privileges. **NOTE:** there are a bunch of caveats and pitfalls associated with portable mode and the `--relative-fastresume` flag in particular. Refer to the man page for more information and things to watch out for about these options. If just you want to use multiple configurations, use `--profile=path/to/config/dir` or `--configuration=config-name-here`. TODO: work on the new, complete man page is not yet finished.
