+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

+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

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

+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.

+
+.. 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:

+
+ root@host:~# vmm configure mailbox
+ Using configuration file: /usr/local/etc/vmm.cfg
+
+ * Configuration section: `mailbox'

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

+
+listdomains
+-----------
+Syntax:
+ | **vmm listdomains** [*pattern*]
+ | **vmm ld** [*pattern*]
+
+This subcommand lists all available domains.
+All domain names will be prefixed either with '[+]', if the domain is
+a primary domain, or with '[-]', if it is an alias domain name.
+The output can be limited 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 listdomains %example%
+ Matching domains
+ ----------------

+This subcommand lists all password schemes which could be used in the
+:file:`vmm.cfg` as value of the *misc.password_scheme* option.
+The output varies, depending on the used Dovecot version and the system's
