You can't see it on the command-line. Things are evaluated in order;
command-line parameters first, up to the --conf-dir parameter, and
then the files in that directory will be looked at and configuration
taken into account. However, it won't change the actual command-line
for the application, since it's indeed how it was started.

To see the result, you'll want to kill dnsmasq with the SIGUSR1 signal
-- this will force it to write out statistics to syslog. This is also
the way to list the nameservers used by dnsmasq.
