# openvpn3-config-dump(1)

OpenVPN 3 Linux - Configuration Dump

## NAME

openvpn3-config-dump - OpenVPN 3 Linux - Configuration Dump

## SYNOPSIS

```
openvpn3 config-dump -o DBUS-PATH | --path DBUS-PATH | --config CONFIG-NAME [--json]
openvpn3 config-dump -h | --help
openvpn3 config-show -o DBUS-PATH | --path DBUS-PATH | --config CONFIG-NAME [--json]
openvpn3 config-show -h | --help
```

## DESCRIPTION

This will dump the contents of the OpenVPN configuration profile which was imported to the terminal.  It will not carry any information added via **openvpn3 config-manage**.

If the configuration profile has been locked down via **openvpn3 config-acl** users granted access to this configuration profile will not be able to see the contents of the configuration profile.

This command used to be **openvpn3 config-show** but that has been deprecated in favour of **openvpn config-dump**.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  Print  usage and help details to the terminal

- **-o** *DBUS-PATH,* **--path** *DBUS-PATH*

  D-Bus configuration path to the configuration to show.  This can be found in **openvpn3 configs-list**.

- **--config-path** *DBUS-PATH*

  Alias for **--path**.

- **-c** *CONFIG-NAME,* **--config** *CONFIG-NAME*

  Can be used instead of **--path** where the configuration profile name is given instead.  Available configuration names can be found via **openvpn3 configs-list**.

- **--json**

  Use JSON formatting of the output instead of text/plain.
