MHPARAM(1) [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8) MHPARAM(1)
NAME
mhparam - print nmh profile components
SYNOPSIS
mhparam [components] [-all] [-component] [-nocomponent]
[-version] [-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 the switch `-component' is given, then the component name
is displayed along with the profile components value. This
can be disabled with the switch `-nocomponent'.
If more than one component is specified in the `components'
list, then the switch `-component' is on by default. If
only one component is specified, then the switch
`-nocomponent' is on by default.
If `-all' is specified, then all components in the nmh
profile are displayed and other arguments are ignored.
Examples:
% mhparam path
Mail
% mhparam mhlproc
/usr/freeware/lib/nmh/mhl
% mhparam-component path
Path: Mail
% mhparam AliasFile rmmproc
AliasFile: aliases
rmmproc: rmmproc
% mhparam-nocomponent AliasFile rmmproc
aliases

Mhparam is also useful in back-quoted operations:
% fgrep cornell.edu `mhpath +`/`mhparam aliasfile`
