+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B doveconf
+reads and parses Dovecot\(aqs configuration files and converts them into a
+simpler format used by the rest of Dovecot. All standalone programs, such
+as
+.BR dovecot (1)
+and
+.BR dovecot\-lda (1),
+will first get their settings by executing doveconf.
+.PP
+For system administrators,
+.B doveconf
+is mainly useful for dumping the configuration in easy human readable
+output.
+.\"------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-a

+.SH EXAMPLE
+When Dovecot was configured to use different settings for some
+networks/subnets it is possible to show which settings will be applied
+for a specific connection.
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft B
+doveconf \-f local=10.0.0.110 \-f remote=10.11.1.2 \-f service=pop3 \-n
+.ft P
+.fi
+.PP
+.B doveconf
+can be also used to convert v1.x configuration files into v2.x format.
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft B
+doveconf \-n \-c /oldpath/dovecot.conf > \
+@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf.new
+.ft P
+.fi
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.PP
+This example shows how to ask
+.B doveconf
+for a global setting and a protocol specific setting.
+The second command uses also the
+.B \-h
+option, in order to hide the setting\(aqs name.
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft B
+doveconf mail_plugins
+.ft P
+mail_plugins = quota
+.ft B
+doveconf  \-h \-f protocol=imap mail_plugins
+.ft P
+quota imap_quota
+.fi
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.PP
+This example demonstrates how to dump a whole configuration section.
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft B
+doveconf dict
+.ft P
+dict {
+  quota = pgsql:@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot\-dict\-sql.conf.ext
+}
+.fi
+.PP
+Or how to dump only the quota dict:
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft B
+doveconf dict/quota
+.ft P
+dict/quota = pgsql:@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot\-dict\-sql.conf.ext
