.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBAmgetconf\fR
-looks up parameters in
-\fIamanda\.conf\fR, the
-\fIAmanda\fR
-configuration file, or from the build and runtime environment, and returns their corresponding value\.
+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
\fIconfig\fR
is not specified,
\fBamgetconf\fR
assumes it is being run from the configuration directory and that
-\fIamanda\.conf\fR
-is present\.
-.PP
-If
+\fIamanda\&.conf\fR
+is present\&. The order of options and arguments does not matter\&.
\fIparameter\fR
-begins with
-\fIbuild\.\fR, the (case insensitive) string following the period is a build environment variable\. Variables without a value (e\.g\.
-\fIXFSDUMP\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\.
-\fIUSE_AMANDAHOSTS\fR) will return
-1
-if the flag is set or an empty string if it is not\.
+is always case\-insensitive, and \'\-\' and \'_\' are treated as identical, just as in
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&.
+.PP
+See the "\fBCONFIGURATION OVERRIDE\fR" section in
+\fBamanda\fR(8)
+for information on the
+\FC\-o\F[]
+option\&.
+.SS "AMANDA CONFIGURATION"
.PP
If
\fIparameter\fR
-begins with
-\fIdbopen\.\fR, the string following the period is a program name and an
-\fIAmanda\fR
-debug file will be created for the caller\. The name of the file is returned\.
+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
+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
+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
-\fIdbclose\.\fR, the string following the period is a program name previously used with
-\fIdbopen\.\fR, followed by a colon (:) and the previously opened file name\.
+\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)\&.
