DESCRIPTION
       The nfsconf command can be used to test for and retrieve configuration
       settings from a range of nfs-utils configuration files.

   Modes
       The following modes are available:

       -d, --dump
              Output an alphabetically sorted dump of the current
              configuration in conf file format. Accepts an optional filename
              in which to write the output.

       -e, --entry
              retrieve the config entry rather than its current expanded value

       -i, --isset
              Test if a specific tag has a value set.

       -g, --get
              Output the current value of the specified tag.

       -s, --set
              Update or Add a tag and value to the config file in a specified
              section, creating the tag, section, and file if necessary. If
              the section is defined as '#' then a comment is appended to the
              file. If a comment is set with a tag name then any exiting
              tagged comment with a matching name is replaced.

       -u, --unset
              Remove the specified tag and its value from the config file.

OPTIONS
   Options valid in all modes
       -v, --verbose
              Increase verbosity and print debugging information.

       -f, --file infile
              Select a different config file to operate upon, default is
              /etc/nfs.conf

   Options only valid in --entry and --get and --isset modes.
       -a, --arg subsection
              Select a specific sub-section

   Options only valid in --set mode.
       -m, --modified "Modified by nfsconf" Set the text on the Modified date
       comment in the file. Set to empty to remove.

EXIT STATUS
   --isset mode
       In this mode the command will return success (0) if the selected tag
       has a value, any other exit code indicates the value is not set, or
       some other error has occurred.

   all other modes
       Success is indicated by an exit status of zero, any other status
       indicates an error. Error messages are output on stderr, and increasing
       verbosity will give more detailed explanations if any are available.

EXAMPLES
       nfsconf -v --dump --file /tmp/testconf.conf sorted.conf
              Check a new config file for syntax errors and output a sorted
              version for ease of comparison with existing settings.

       if ! nfsconf --isset gssd preferred-realm ; then echo 'No preferred
       realm configured for gss'; fi
              The tool allows for easy testing of configuration values from
              shell scripts, here we test if a specific value has been set.

       nfsconf --file /etc/nfsmount.conf --get --arg /home MountPoint
       background
              Show default value for background option for NFS mounts of the
              /home path.

       nfsconf --file /etc/nfs.conf --set nfsd debug 1
              Enable debugging in nfsd

       /etc/nfs.conf
