mySQL -- Is there a way to verify if /etc/my.cnf values are being used?

Greetings:

Is there a way to verify if /etc/my.cnf values are being used by mySQL?

Is there a way to double check if the values in /etc/my.cnf for max connections and the like are being read "as is" from /etc/my.cnf?

Meaning, if you set max connections to 500, without creating 500 connections can you check if mySQL believes it can go up to 500 vs. 100?

Thank you.
