+"""
+invirt-getconf [-f FILE] KEY prints the configuration the option named KEY from
+the invirt configuration file FILE.  Keys are dot-separated paths into the YAML
+configuration tree.  List indexes (0-based) are also treated as path
+components.
+
+(Due to this path language, certain restrictions are placed on the keys used in
+the YAML configuration, e.g. they cannot contain dots.)
+
+Examples:
+
+  invirt-getconf db.uri
+  invirt-getconf authn.0.type
