doConfigShow csh c show configuration variables for another channel CHAN [layer] Displays all configuration values. An optional argument may be used to tell which configuration layer to display.

Show One Setting

doConfigGet cg c show configuration variables for another channel CHAN <parameter> [layer] Displays the value of one configuration parameter. The first argument is the name of the parameter, an optional second argument may be used to tell which configuration layer to look in. Valid configuration layers are "user", "system" and "default". If no layer is specified, a value will be picked from the first layer that defines the parameter, in the order just specified. The configuration value will be retrieved for the channel specified by the default_channel configuration variable.

Change Setting

doConfigSet cs c show configuration variables for another channel CHAN <parameter> <value> [layer] Sets the value of one configuration parameter. The first argument is the name of the parameter, the second argument is the new value. Some parameters are subject to validation, and the command will fail with an error message if the new value does not make sense. An optional third argument may be used to specify in which layer to set the configuration parameter. The default layer is "user". The configuration value will be set for the current channel, which is controlled by the default_channel configuration variable.
