68. pepsi-config

Inspect the effective configuration shared by every component.

68.1. Role

pepsi-config looks up, expands and dumps the merged Pepsi configuration. Every component reads the same INI-style configuration file, so a single tool serves them all; the per-component config subcommands earlier releases shipped have been retired in favour of this one. It only reads the configuration — no database connection, no network access. Reference: pepsi-config(1).

68.2. Features

• get — print the value of an option in a section; with --filename the value is treated as a path and $-expanded.

• pathsub — substitute ${VAR}/$VAR placeholders in a path expression from the [PATHS] section and the environment.

• dump — print the merged configuration; with --diagnostics it also records the file and line each option came from.

68.3. Validation

pepsi-config dump pairs with pepsi-setup(1)’s check when validating an installation: check queries live DNS, while dump shows the effective values the components will actually see.
