-Synopsis
-
-amgetconf [config] [--list] parameter [ -o configoption]...
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-Amgetconf looks up parameters in amanda.conf, the Amanda configuration file, or
-from the build and runtime environment, and returns their corresponding value.
-If config is not specified, amgetconf assumes it is being run from the
-configuration directory and that amanda.conf is present.
-If parameter begins with build., the (case insensitive) string following the
-period is a build environment variable. Variables without a value (e.g. XFSDUMP
-on a system that does not support that type of file system) will not report an
-error and will return an empty string as the value. Flag variables (e.g.
-USE_AMANDAHOSTS) will return 1 if the flag is set or an empty string if it is
-not.
-If parameter begins with dbopen., the string following the period is a program
-name and an Amanda debug file will be created for the caller. The name of the
-file is returned.
-If parameter begins with dbclose., the string following the period is a program
-name previously used with dbopen., followed by a colon (:) and the previously
-opened file name.
-See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
