           retrieve  parameter

           cafe

           parameter change

           cafegetparam, param, item, list, default

           item    - string (key) defining the parameter.
                     If the string consists of "topic:key" first for
                     exact matching string will be searched. If none
                     found the search is repeated with "key" (without
                     topic).
                     This handling allows to set up command specific
                     configurations by prepending a key with the
                     command name.

                     > set,pfold:period= 5000.
                     -> cafegetparam returns the period for the pfold
                     -> command only.

           default - default value if item not found.

                     if not found.
