MHPARAM(1)MHPARAM(1)NAMEmhparam - print nmh profile components
SYNOPSISmhparam [components] [-all] [-component] [-nocomponent]
[-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Mhparam writes the value of the specified profile compo-
nent to the standard output separated by newlines. If the
profile component is not present, the default value (or
nothing if there is no default) is printed.
If the switch `-component' is given, then the component
name is displayed along with the profile components value.
This can be disabled with the switch `-nocomponent'.
If more than one component is specified in the `compo-
nents' list, then the switch `-component' is on by
default. If only one component is specified, then the
switch `-nocomponent' is on by default.
If `-all' is specified, then all components in the nmh
profile are displayed and other arguments are ignored.
Examples:
% mhparam path
Mail
% mhparam mhlproc
/usr/contrib/mh/lib/mhl
% mhparam-component path
Path: Mail
% mhparam AliasFile rmmproc
AliasFile: aliases
rmmproc: rmmproc
% mhparam-nocomponent AliasFile rmmproc
aliases
rmmproc
Mhparam is also useful in back-quoted operations:
% fgrep cornell.edu `mhpath +`/`mhparam aliasfile`
