MHPARAM(1)

NAME
mhparam - print MH profile components

SYNOPSIS
mhparam [components] [-all] [-component] [-nocomponent] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
Mhparam writes the value of the specified profile component 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 more than one component is specified in the `components' list, the component value is preceded by the component name. If `-component' is specified, the component name is displayed even when only one component is specified. If `-nocomponent' is specified, the component name is not displayed even when more than one component is specified. If `-all' is specified, all components if the MH profile are displayed and other arguments are ignored. Examples:
% mhparam path
Mail
% mhparam mhlproc
/usr/local/lib/mh/mhl
% mhparam -component path
Path:	Mail
% mhparam AliasFile rmmproc
AliasFile:	aliases
rmmproc:	rmmproc
% mhparam -nocomponent AliasFile rmmproc
aliases
rmmproc

% fgrep cornell.edu `mhpath +`/`mhparam aliasfile`
