INNCONFVAL(1)
NAME
  innconfval - Get configuration parameters from inn.conf

SYNOPSIS
  innconfval [-pstv] [-i file] [parameter ...]

  innconfval -C [-i file]

DESCRIPTION
  innconfval normally prints the values of the parameters specified on the
  command line.	 By default, it just prints the parameter values, but if -p,
  -s, or -t are given, it instead prints the parameter and value in the form
  of a variable assignment in Perl, Bourne shell, or Tcl respectively.	If no
  parameters are specifically requested, innconfval prints out all parameter
  values (this isn't particularly useful unless one of -p, -s, or -t were
  specified).

  All parameters are taken from inn.conf except for version, which is always
  the version string of INN.

  If given the -C option, innconfval instead checks inn.conf, reporting any
  problems found to standard error.  innconfval will exit with status 0 if no
  problems are found and with status 1 otherwise.

OPTIONS
  -C  Check inn.conf rather than printing out the values of parameters.

  -i file
      Use file as the source configuration file rather than inn.conf.  file
      must be a valid inn.conf file and will be parsed the same as inn.conf
      would be.

  -p  Print out parameters as Perl assignment statements.  The variable name
      will be the same as the inn.conf parameter, and string values will be
      enclosed in single quotes with appropriate escaping.  Boolean values
      will be mapped to "true" or "false", and string parameters that are set
      to NULL will be mapped to empty strings.

  -s  Print out parameters as Bourne shell assignment statements.  The
      variable name will be the inn.conf parameter name in all capitals, and
      all variables will be exported.  String values will be enclosed in
      single quotes with appropriate escaping, and boolean values will be
      mapped to "true" or "false".  String parameters that are set to NULL
      will be mapped to empty strings.

  -t  Print out parameters as Tcl assignment statements.  The variable name
      will be the same as the inn.conf parameter name but with "inn_"
      prepended, and string variables will be escaped appropriately.  Boolean
      values will be mapped to "true" or "false" and string parameters that
      are set to NULL will be mapped to empty strings.

  -v  Print INN's version.  This is equivalent to "innconfval version".
