GetConfig

Description

This action will dump the contents of a configuration file by category and contents or optionally by specified category only. In the case where a category name is non-unique, a filter may be specified to match only categories with matching variable values.

Arguments

ActionID - ActionID for this transaction. Will be returned.
Filename required - Configuration filename (e.g. foo.conf).
Category - Category in configuration file.
Filter - A comma separated list of name_regex=value_regex expressions which will cause only categories whose variables match all expressions to be considered. The special variable name TEMPLATES can be used to control whether templates are included. Passing include as the value will include templates along with normal categories. Passing restrict as the value will restrict the operation to ONLY templates. Not specifying a TEMPLATES expression results in the default behavior which is to not include templates.
