.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 \*(Aq\-\*(Aq and \*(Aq_\*(Aq 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
+\-o
+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
+TYPE:NAME:PARAMETER, where
+TYPE
+is the subsection type (one of
+dumptype,
+tapetype,
+interface,
+holdingdisk,
+application\-tool, or
+script\-tool;
+NAME
+is the name of the subsection (e\&.g\&.,
+user\-tar), and
+PARAMETER
+is the name of the disired parameter within that subsection\&.
+.PP
+The
+\-\-list
+option lists the subsections of a certain type, where the type is givein as the parameter\&.
+.PP
+The
+\-\-client
+option is equivalent to
+\-\-execute\-where server
+(below)\&.
+.PP
+The
+\-\-execute\-where
+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\.
+build\&., then the following name 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\&. Some boolean variables (e\&.g\&.
+\fIUSE_AMANDAHOSTS\fR) will return
+1
+if the flag is set or an empty string if it is not, while others return
+yes
+or
+no, as indicated below (the difference is historical)\&.
