NAME

6       mhparam - print nmh profile components
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mhparam [components] [-all] [-component | -nocomponent] [-version]
10       [-help]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Mhparam writes the value of the  specified  profile  component  to  the
14       standard output separated by newlines.  If the profile component is not
15       present, the default value (or nothing  if  there  is  no  default)  is
16       printed.
17
18       If the switch -component is given, then the component name is displayed
19       along with the profile components value.  This can be disabled with the
20       switch -nocomponent.
21
22       If  more  than  one component is specified in the components list, then
23       the switch -component is on by default.  If only one component is spec‐
24       ified, then the switch -nocomponent is on by default.
25
26       If  -all  is specified, then all components in the nmh profile are dis‐
27       played and other arguments are ignored.
