"""
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
