+.SH NAME
+getconfig - get configuration information for the XFree86 server
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B getconfig
+.RI [ option
+.IR ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B getconfig
+is a programatic interface that is used by the
+.B XFree86
+server to get configuration information about video hardware when
+operating without an
+.B XF86Config
+file.
+.PP
+This implementation of
+.B getconfig
+is written in perl.  It processes a prioritized and ordered list of
+rules supplied internally and from meta-configuration files.  The rules
+are in the form of perl expressions.
+.B getconfig
+writes to standard output the XF86Config-style configuration data
+specified by the last highest priority rule that evaluates to true.
+Information about the format of the meta-configuration files can be
+found in the getconfig(__filemansuffix__) manual page.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.BI \-I " search-path"
+Specify the search path to use for meta-config files.
+.I search-path
+is a comma-separated list of directories to search.  Each directory in
+the search path is searched for files with a
+.I .cfg
+suffix.  Each such file is opened and checked for a valid signature
+string.  Rules are read from files with a valid signature string and
+appended to the list of rules to evaluate.  If no search path is specified,
+only the internally supplied configuration rules will be used.
+.TP 8
+.B \-D
+Enable debugging output.
+.TP 8
+.B \-V
+Print out the version information and exit.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-X " XFree86-version"
+Specify the XFree86 version in numeric (integer) form.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-b " subsys-id"
+Specify the PCI subsystem ID of the video device.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-c " class"
+Specify the PCI class of the video device.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-d " device-id"
+Specify the PCI devide ID of the video device.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-r " revision"
+Specify the PCI revision of the video device.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-s " subsysvendor-id"
+Specify the PCI subsystem vendor ID of the video device.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-v " vendor-id"
+Specify the PCI vendor ID of the video device.
+.SH FILES
+.I .cfg
+files located in the search path.  The search path typically specified
+by the
+.B XFree86
+server is:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.I /etc/X11
+.I __projectroot__/etc/X11
+.I <modulepath>
+.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/getconfig
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <modulepath>
+is the
+.B XFree86
+server's module search path.
