.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-
.PP
-\fBAmgetconf\fR looks up parameters in \fBamanda\&.conf\fR, the \fBAmanda\fR configuration file, or from the build and runtime environment, and returns their corresponding value\&.
-
+\fBAmgetconf\fR
+has three main jobs:
+to fetch configuration information from the Amanda configuration; to fetch build\-time configuration values; and to open and close debug logs for shell scripts\&. Each is treated in its own subsection, below\&.
.PP
-If \fBconfig\fR is not specified, \fBamgetconf\fR assumes it is being run from the configuration directory and that \fBamanda\&.conf\fR is present\&.
-
+If
+\fIconfig\fR
+is not specified,
+\fBamgetconf\fR
+assumes it is being run from the configuration directory and that
+\fIamanda\&.conf\fR
+is present\&. The order of options and arguments does not matter\&.
+\fIparameter\fR
+is always case\-insensitive, and \'\-\' and \'_\' are treated as identical, just as in
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&.
.PP
-If \fBparameter\fR begins with \fBbuild\&.\fR, the (case insensitive) string following the period is a build environment variable\&. Variables without a value (e\&.g\&. \fBXFSDUMP\fR 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\&. \fBUSE_AMANDAHOSTS\fR) will return 1 if the flag is set or an empty string if it is not\&.
-
+See the "\fBCONFIGURATION OVERRIDE\fR" section in
+\fBamanda\fR(8)
+for information on the
+\FC\-o\F[]
+option\&.
+.SS "AMANDA CONFIGURATION"
.PP
-If \fBparameter\fR begins with \fBdbopen\&.\fR, the string following the period is a program name and an \fBAmanda\fR debug file will be created for the caller\&. The name of the file is returned\&.
-
+If
+\fIparameter\fR
+is a configuration keyword (from
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)), then amgetconf will return the corresponding value\&. For keywords which can take multiple values, amgetconf will return all values, one on each line\&.
.PP
-If \fBparameter\fR begins with \fBdbclose\&.\fR, the string following the period is a program name previously used with \fBdbopen\&.\fR, followed by a colon (:) and the previously opened file name\&.
-
+Values in configuration subsections are specified with parameters of the form
+\FCTYPE:NAME:PARAMETER\F[], where
+\FCTYPE\F[]
+is the subsection type (one of
+\FCdumptype\F[],
+\FCtapetype\F[],
+\FCinterface\F[],
+\FCholdingdisk\F[],
+\FCapplication\-tool\F[], or
+\FCscript\-tool\F[];
+\FCNAME\F[]
+is the name of the subsection (e\&.g\&.,
+\FCuser\-tar\F[]), and
+\FCPARAMETER\F[]
+is the name of the disired parameter within that subsection\&.
.PP
-See the \fBamanda\fR(8) man page for more details about \fBAmanda\fR\&.
-
-.SH "EXAMPLE"
-
+The
+\FC\-\-list\F[]
+option lists the subsections of a certain type, where the type is givein as the parameter\&.
+.PP
+The
+\FC\-\-client\F[]
+option is equivalent to
+\FC\-\-execute\-where server\F[]
+(below)\&.
+.PP
+The
+\FC\-\-execute\-where\F[]
+option tells amgetconf whether to operate on the client or the server; the server is the default\&.
+.SS "BUILD CONFIGURATION"
+.PP
+If
+\fIparameter\fR
+begins with
+\FCbuild\&.\F[], then the following name is a build environment variable\&. Variables without a value (e\&.g\&.
+\FCXFSDUMP\F[]
+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\&. Some boolean variables (e\&.g\&.
+\fIUSE_AMANDAHOSTS\fR) will return
+\FC1\F[]
+if the flag is set or an empty string if it is not, while others return
+\FCyes\F[]
+or
+\FCno\F[], as indicated below (the difference is historical)\&.
+.PP
+Combining the
+\FC\-\-list\F[]
+option with the parameter
+\FCbuild\F[]
+will enumerate all available build parameters\&.
