|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will dump the kernel environment if
|
|
invoked without arguments.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
option is specified, it will limit the report to kernel probe hints.
|
|
If an optional
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
name is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will only report that value.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will delete the given environment variable.
|
|
If the environment variable is followed by an optional
|
|
.Ar value ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will set the environment variable to this value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
option is set, warnings normally printed as a result of being unable to
|
|
perform the requested operation will be suppressed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variables can be added to the kernel environment using the
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
|
|
file, or also statically compiled into the kernel using the statement
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Ic env Ar filename
|
|
.Pp
|
|
in the kernel config file.
|
|
The file can contain lines of the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl name = "value" # this is a comment
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where whitespace around name and '=', and
|
|
everything after a '#' character, are ignored. Almost any printable
|
|
character except '=' is acceptable as part of a name. Quotes
|
|
are optional and necessary only if the value contains
|
|
whitespace.
