Tzafrir here is the output you requested:

[directories](!) ; remove the (!) to enable this
astetcdir => /etc/asterisk
astmoddir => /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
astvarlibdir => /var/lib/asterisk
astdbdir => /var/lib/asterisk
astkeydir => /var/lib/asterisk
astdatadir => /var/lib/asterisk
astagidir => /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
astspooldir => /var/spool/asterisk
astrundir => /var/run/asterisk
astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk

[options]
runuser = asterisk ; The user to run as
rungroup = asterisk ; The group to run as
documentation_language = en_US ; Set the Language you want Documentation 
displayed in. Value is in the same format as locale names
