NAME

       dacs_conf - display DACS configuration directives

SYNOPSIS

       dacs_conf [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacs_conf web service processes and displays DACS configuration files (see
       dacs.conf(5)[2]).

       If XML output is selected, a document conforming to dacs_conf_reply.dtd[3] is returned.

       Although the order in which clauses appear in configuration files can be important, the
       order of configuration directives is for the most part not significant. The exception is
       the EVAL[4] directive. These directives are listed in the order in which they would be
       evaluated, and their unevaluated values appear in the output.

           Note
           This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsconf(1)[5]. Because
           dacs_admin(8)[6] provides the same functionality and more, dacs_conf may be removed in
           a future release.

           Security
           Because the configuration details that are displayed could be taken advantage of by an
           attacker, the default DACS ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS
           administrator.

OPTIONS

   Web Service Arguments
       In addition to the standard CGI arguments[7], dacs_conf understands the following CGI
       arguments:

       DIRECTIVE
           This optional, repeatable argument is a comma-separated list of directive names or
           variable references to be displayed. This is similar to the directive-name arguments
           to dacsconf(1)[5].

           An example of a directive name is JURISDICTION_NAME. An example of a variable
           reference is ${Conf::jurisdiction_name:i}.

       VARS
           If the value of this optional argument is "yes", the effect on output formatting is
           the same as when the -vars flag is give to dacsconf(1)[5]. The default value is "no".

FILES

       conf.css[8]

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.

BUGS

       The JSON output flavour (FORMAT) is not implemented.
