+### pyproject.toml support
+
+All command-line options for `pip-licenses` can be configured using the `pyproject.toml` file under the `[tool.pip-licenses]` section. 
+The `pyproject.toml` file is searched in the directory where the `pip-licenses` script is executed.
+Command-line options specified during execution will override the corresponding options in `pyproject.toml`.
+
+Example `pyproject.toml` configuration:
+
+```toml
+[tool.pip-licences]
+from = "classifier"
+ignore-packages = [
+  "scipy"
+]
+fail-on = "MIT;"
+```
+
+If you run `pip-licenses` without any command-line options, all options will be taken from the `pyproject.toml` file. 
+For instance, if you run `pip-licenses --from=mixed`, the `from` option will be overridden to `mixed`, while all other options will be sourced from `pyproject.toml`.
