The <tt>[[mu|mailutils]] info</tt> command displays information about GNU Mailutils compile-time configuration. In normal form its output lists a single configuration flag per line, e.g.:

$ mailutils info
VERSION=2.99.99
SYSCONFDIR=/etc
MAILSPOOLDIR=/var/mail/
SCHEME=mbox
LOG_FACILITY=mail
IPV6
USE_LIBPAM
HAVE_LIBLTDL
WITH_GDBM
WITH_GNUTLS
WITH_GSASL
...

A configuration flag can consist either of a single word, indicating that a particular capability has been enabled at compile time, or of a keyword/value pair delimited by an equal sign, which indicates a particular value used by default for that feature. For example, <tt>IPV6</tt> means that Mailutils was compiled with support for IPv6, whereas <tt>SYSCONFDIR=/etc</tt> means that the default place for configuration files is in <tt>/etc</tt> directory.

Such short output is convenient for using <tt>mailutils info</tt> in scripts to decide whether it is possible to use a given feature. To assist human users, the <tt>--verbose</tt> (<tt>-v</tt>) option is provided. It prints a short description next to each flag:

$ mailutils info --verbose
VERSION=2.99.98 - Version of this package
SYSCONFDIR=/etc - System configuration directory
MAILSPOOLDIR=/var/mail/ - Default mail spool directory
SCHEME=mbox - Default mailbox type
LOG_FACILITY=mail - Default syslog facility
IPV6 - IPv6 support
USE_LIBPAM - PAM support
HAVE_LIBLTDL - a portable `dlopen' wrapper library
WITH_GDBM - GNU DBM
WITH_GNUTLS - TLS support using GNU TLS
WITH_GSASL - SASL support using GNU SASL
...
