 All spfs and spk configuration values can be overridden in the environment. The name of the variable will be the upper-cased name of the config value, separated by underscores, and prefixed with either `SPFS_` or `SPK_`, eg: `SPFS_STORAGE_ROOT`. In cases where the name of the config value contains an underscore, two underscores can be used to disambiguate separators from names, eg: `SPFS_STORAGE__TAG_NAMESPACE`.
 
+### Viewing the Current Configuration
+
+The effective configuration, after all files and environment variables have been
+loaded, can be printed as json with the `spfs config` and `spk config` commands.

 ### SPFS Configuration
