LISTING PATHS

47       Specify the paths command. It will display all the config files that
48       will be parsed and in what order.
49

LISTING CONFIG SECTIONS

51       Specify the list command with an optional SECTION to list the
52       configuration fragments used for SECTION. Without a SECTION, all
53       sections will be listed.
54
55       Use the -r options to reformat the sections.
56

MERGING A CONFIG SECTION

58       With the merge option and a SECTION, pw-config will merge all config
59       files into a merged config section and dump the results. This will be
60       the section used by the client or server.
61
62       Use the -r options to reformat the sections.
