Synopsis
--------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
dovecot [-F] [-c <config-file>] [-p] [--exec-mail <protocol> [<section>]]
dovecot -a
dovecot -n
dovecot --version
dovecot --build-options
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caveat
------

If --exec-mail is used, it must be the last argument on the command line, as
<section> is an optional parameter, otherwise if no section is given but
another parameter follows, this parameter is used as section.
