# cyrus-cyr\_info(8)

Cyrus IMAP documentation General cyrus inspection tool

## NAME

cyr\_info - Cyrus IMAP documentation

General cyrus inspection tool

## SYNOPSIS

```
cyr_info [OPTIONS] conf
cyr_info [OPTIONS] conf-default
cyr_info [OPTIONS] conf-all
cyr_info [OPTIONS] conf-lint
cyr_info [OPTIONS] proc
```

## DESCRIPTION

**cyr\_info is a tool for getting information from Cyrus.  The intent** **is to extend this tool with useful commands to make managing and** **configuring Cyrus easier.**

**cyr\_info reads its configuration options out of the** *[imapd.conf(5)](/imapd.conf/5.md)* **file unless specified otherwise by -C.**

**cyr\_info provides the following sub-commands:**

- **conf**

  **Print the configuration options which have been set to a value** **other than their default, and their value.**

  **With -s version, configuration options whose behaviour has** **changed since** *version* **will be highlighted.**

- **conf-all**

  **Print ALL configuration options and their configured values (including** **those using their default value).  This command shows which options** **will be in effect at runtime.**

  **With -s version, configuration options which have been added or** **whose behaviour has changed since** *version* **will be highlighted.**

- **conf-default**

  **Print the default values for all available configuration options.**

  **With -s version, configuration options which have been added or** **whose behaviour has changed since** *version* **will be highlighted.**

- **conf-lint**

  **Print only configuration options which are NOT recognised.  This** **command should not print anything.  It uses cyrus.conf to find** **the names of configured services to avoid displaying any known** **configuration options for the named service.**

- **proc**

  **Print active processes that** *[master(8)](/master/8.md)* **is managing.**

## OPTIONS

- **-C config-file**

  **Use the specified configuration file** *config-file* **rather than the default** *[imapd.conf(5)](/imapd.conf/5.md)***.**

- **-M config-file**

  **Read service specifications from** *config-file* **(cyrus.conf format).**

- **-n name, --service=name**

  **Read the configuration as if for the service named** *name***.**

- **-s version, --since=version**

  **Highlight configuration options that have been added or whose behaviour** **has been modified since** *version***.  Use this option after a server upgrade,** **specifying your previous version, to find which options you need to review** **and maybe change before starting up the upgraded server.**

  **For use with the conf, conf-all, and conf-default sub-commands.**

## EXAMPLES

```
cyr_info proc
```
