# LISTING PATHS

Specify the paths command. It will display all the config files that will be parsed and in what order.

# LISTING CONFIG SECTIONS

Specify the list command with an optional SECTION to list the configuration fragments used for SECTION. Without a SECTION, all sections will be listed.

Use the -r options to reformat the sections.

# MERGING A CONFIG SECTION

With the merge option and a SECTION, pw-config will merge all config files into a merged config section and dump the results. This will be the section used by the client or server.

Use the -r options to reformat the sections.
