NAME
       doveconf - Dovecot's configuration dumping utility
SYNOPSIS
       doveconf [-adnPNSx] [-c config-file] [-f filter] [-m module]
       doveconf [-n] [-c config-file] section_name ...
       doveconf [-h] [-c config-file] [-f filter] setting_name ...
DESCRIPTION
       doveconf  reads  and  parses Dovecot's configuration files and converts
       them into a simpler format used by the rest of Dovecot. All  standalone
       programs,  such  as dovecot(1) and dovecot-lda(1), will first get their
       settings by executing doveconf.
       For system administrators, doveconf is mainly useful  for  dumping  the
       configuration in easy human readable output.
OPTIONS
       -a     Show all settings with their currently configured values.
       -c config-file
              read  configuration  from  the  given  config-file.   By default
              /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf will be used.
       -d     Show the setting's default value instead of  the  one  currently
              configured.
       -f filter
              Show  the matching configuration for the specified filter condi-
              tion.  The filter option string has to be  given  as  name=value
              pair.   For multiple filter conditions the -f option can be sup-
              plied multiple times.
              Possible names for the filter are:
              lname  The local hostname,  e.g.  mail.example.com.   This  will
                     only match hostnames which were configured like:
                     local_name mail.example.com { # special settings }
              local  The  server's  hostname  or  IP  address.  This will also
                     match hostnames which were configured like:
                     local imap.example.net { # special settings }
              protocol, service
                     The protocol, e.g. imap or pop3
              remote The client's hostname or IP address.
       -h     Hide the setting's name, show only the setting's value.
       -m module
              Show only settings for the given module.
              e.g.  imap, imap-login, lmtp, pop3 or pop3-login
       -n     Show only settings with non-default values.
       -N     Show settings with non-default values and explicitly set default
              values.
       -S     Dump settings in simplified machine parsable/readable format.
       -s     Show  also  hidden  settings.  The hidden settings should not be
              changed normally.

       -P     Show passwords and other sensitive values.
       -x     Expand configuration  variables  (e.g.  $mail_plugins  =>
              quota)  and  show  file  contents  (from  e.g. ssl_cert =
              </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem).
       section_name
              Show only the current configuration of one or more speci-
              fied sections.
       setting_name
              Show only the setting of one or more setting_name(s) with
              the currently configured value. You can  show  a  setting
              inside a section using '/' as the section separator, e.g.
              service/imap/executable.
EXAMPLE
       When Dovecot was configured to use different settings  for  some
       networks/subnets  it  is possible to show which settings will be
       applied for a specific connection.
       doveconf -f local=10.0.0.110 -f remote=10.11.1.2 -f service=pop3 -n
       doveconf can be also used to convert  v1.x  configuration  files
       into v2.x format.
       doveconf -n -c /oldpath/dovecot.conf > /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.new
       This  example shows how to ask doveconf for a global setting and
       a protocol specific setting.  The second command uses  also  the
       -h option, in order to hide the setting's name.
       doveconf mail_plugins
       mail_plugins = quota
       doveconf  -h -f protocol=imap mail_plugins
       quota imap_quota
       This example demonstrates how to dump a whole configuration sec-
       tion.
       doveconf dict
       dict {
         quota = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
       }
       Or how to dump only the quota dict:
       doveconf dict/quota
       dict/quota = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
