NAME

       dacsconf - display configuration directives

SYNOPSIS

       dacsconf [dacsoptions[1]] [-vars] [directive-name...]

       dacsconf [-item_types]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacsconf utility processes DACS configuration files (see dacs.conf(5)[2]) and outputs to stdout the
       values of directives or variable references currently in effect for the specified jurisdiction.

       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[3] directive.
       These directives are listed in the order in which they would be evaluated, and their unevaluated values
       appear in the output.

       This program is also available as a DACS web service, dacs_conf(8)[4].

           Security

           Because the configuration might reveal information that could be taken advantage of by an attacker,
           only the DACS administrator should be able to run this command.

OPTIONS

       -item_types
           List the names of all predefined item types. The presence of a name does not imply that DACS has been
           configured to use the item type.

       -vars
           By default, directives that appear within a clause (e.g., <Auth> or <Roles>) are emitted in the
           context of that clause. This option "flattens" the output by emitting it in the form of DACS
           variables.

           For example, the STYLE directive in an Auth section having an id of foo will appear as AUTH.FOO.STYLE
           in the output.

           All variables in the Conf namespace are displayed, including those set by EVAL.

       directive-name
           One or more directive names or variable references may be provided to limit the output. It is not an
           error if a directive-name is not defined.

FILES

       conf.css[5]

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred. Error messages are printed to stderr.
