`condor_config_val` asks "what does the config file say?"
`condor_config_val -daemon` asks "hey, $daemon, what do you say?" So
using a -daemon argument returns the actual value a daemon is
currently using. I agree, the documentation does not make that
immediately obvious.

Since it's possible for the in-use setting to be different from the
setting in the config file, I recommend using the appropriate daemon
argument when troubleshooting.
