is there a way to dump the effective postfix configuration rather than

main.cf/master.cf have an immediate impact on the output of postconf
regardless of whether a reload/restart of the service was performed.
How would that work? Different Postfix processes start at different
times, and some processes (qmgr, master) run forever.
I could think of something like this:
Instead of sending a HUP signal like it is done to trigger a reload, one
sends a different signal (e. g. USR1) to the master. The further
processing of the signal is similar to the HUP case except that
configuration dumps are triggered rather than configuration reloads.
What I have in mind would be a similar user experience to what one gets
when running "ceph config show [...]" [0] in the Ceph case or
"condor_config_val [daemon]" [1] in case of HTCondor.
