MHPARAM(1) [nmh-1.2] MHPARAM(1)
NAME
mhparam - print nmh profile components
SYNOPSIS
mhparam [components] [-all] [-component | -nocomponent] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Mhparam writes the value of the specified profile component to the standard output sepa-
rated 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 components 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 argu-
ments are ignored.
Examples:
% mhparam path
Mail
% mhparam mhlproc
/usr/lib/mh/mhl
% mhparam -component path
Path: Mail
% mhparam AliasFile rmmproc

rmmproc: rmmproc
