| '''amgetconf''' — look up amanda.conf variables
| |
| | |
| ==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.
