💖 DTCONF(1) — dtconf, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to DTCONF(1), the user-contributed Perl docs corner of the universe 🌸 and today we're looking at dtconf — short for, and I quote, Display the contents of a DNSSEC-Tools configuration file. it's giving "let me peek inside the config" energy and honestly? obsessed. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dtconf [options] [config_file]

like yes, that's the whole vibe. options first, config file after, no cap. 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so dtconf displays the key/value pairs of a DNSSEC-Tools configuration file. literally just shows you what's in there. 🫶

and if you don't hand it a config file? no worries bestie, it defaults to the system configuration file and shows you that one instead. main character default behavior. ✨

here's the tea on how it behaves:

  • if you run it without the -key option, dtconf shows you all the key/value pairs in the configuration file. every single one. full tour. 🎀
  • comments are never displayed. like, never ever. they stay private, iykyk. 🙈
  • if you do pass the -key option, then only that one key/value pair gets displayed. just the one. very selective, very demure. 💅
  • and if that key isn't defined? the value comes back as "(undefined)." — literally that string, with the parens and the period and everything. 😭

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -key — prints the value of the specified key. and if that key isn't defined, the value is given as "(undefined)." — same deal as above, no surprises. 🔥
  • -Version — displays the version information for dtconf and for the DNSSEC-Tools package. two-for-one, we love a bundled reveal. 👑
  • -help — displays a usage message. the classic "wait what do i type" rescue button. 🧚

💀 reminder bestie: comments do NOT show up, no matter how hard you beg. and an undefined key is "(undefined)." — that's canon, not a typo.
