General subcommands
===================

configget
---------
Syntax:
 | **vmm configget** *option*
 | **vmm cg** *option*

This subcommand is used to display the actual value of the given
configuration *option*.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm configget misc.crypt_sha512_rounds
 misc.crypt_sha512_rounds = 5000

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0

configset
---------
Syntax:
 | **vmm configset** *option value*
 | **vmm cs** *option value*

Use this subcommand to set or update a single configuration option's value.
*option* is the configuration option, *value* is the *option*'s new value.

.. note::
 This subcommand will create a new :file:`vmm.cfg` without any comments.
 Your current configuration file will be backed as :file:`vmm.cfg.bak`.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm configget domain.transport
 domain.transport = dovecot:
 root@host:~# vmm configset domain.transport lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
 root@host:~# vmm cg domain.transport
 domain.transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0

configure
---------
Syntax:
 | **vmm configure** [*section*]
 | **vmm cf** [*section*]

Starts the interactive configuration for all configuration sections.

In this process the currently set value of each option will be displayed
in square brackets.
If no value is configured, the default value of each option will be
displayed in square brackets.
Press the return key, to accept the displayed value.

If the optional argument *section* is given, only the configuration options
from the given section will be displayed and will be configurable.
The following sections are available:

======== ==========================
section  description
======== ==========================
account  Account settings
bin      Paths to external binaries
database Database settings
domain   Domain settings
mailbox  Mailbox settings
misc     Miscellaneous settings
======== ==========================

All configuration options are described in :manpage:`vmm.cfg(5)`.

.. note::
 This subcommand will create a new :file:`vmm.cfg` without any comments.
 Your current configuration file will be backed as :file:`vmm.cfg.bak`.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm configure mailbox
 Using configuration file: /usr/local/etc/vmm.cfg

 * Configuration section: `mailbox'
 Enter new value for option folders [Drafts:Sent:Templates:Trash]:
 Enter new value for option format [maildir]: mdbox
 Enter new value for option subscribe [True]:
 Enter new value for option root [Maildir]: mdbox

-------
Syntax:
 | **vmm getuser** *uid*
 | **vmm gu** *ui*

If only the *uid* is available, for example from process list, the
subcommand **getuser** will show the user's address.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm getuser 79876
 Account information
 -------------------
         UID............: 79876
         GID............: 70704
         Address........: a.user@example.com

help
----
Syntax:
 | **vmm help** [*subcommand*]
 | **vmm h** [*subcommand*]

Prints a list of available subcommands with a short description to stdout.
When a *subcommand* was given, help for that *subcommand* will be displayed.

listaddresses
-------------
Syntax:
 | **vmm listaddresses** [*pattern*]
 | **vmm ll** [*pattern*]

This command lists all defined addresses. Addresses belonging to
alias-domains are prefixed with a '-', addresses of regular domains with
a '+'.
Additionally, the letters 'u', 'a', and 'r' indicate the type of each

with an optional *pattern*.

To perform a wild card search, the **%** character can be used at the start
and/or the end of the *pattern*.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm ll example.com
 Matching addresses
 ------------------
         [u+] a.user@example.com
         [r+] b.user@example.com
         [u+] d.user@example.com
         [u+] john.doe@example.com
