+With only the C<conf> given show general configuration information for
+TeX Live, including active configuration files, path settings, and more.
This option to C<tlmgr> mimics the C<texconfig conf> call, but works on
all supported platforms.
+With either C<texmf> or C<tlmgr> given in addition, shows all key/value
+pairs (i.e., all settings) as saved in C<ROOT/texmf.cnf> and the tlmgr
+configuration file (see below), respectively.
+
+If C<key> is given in addition, shows the value of that given C<key> in
+the respective file.
+
+If C<value> is given in addition, C<key> is set to C<value> in the
+respective file.
+
+B<WARNING:> Setting arbitrary keys in the tlmgr config file (i.e., with
+C<tlmgr conf tlmgr I<key> I<value>> is I<not> a good idea as tlmgr does
+only understand a limited number of options with specific values, and this
+function does I<not> check for these properties.
