Geom utilities (geli(8), glabel(8), gmirror(8), gpart(8), gmirror(8),
gmountver(8), etc) all use the geom(8) utility as their back end
to process their commands and pass them into the kernel. Creating
a new utility requires no more than filling out a template describing
the commands and arguments that the utility supports. Consider the
specification for the very simple gmountver(8) utility:
struct g_command class_commands[] = {
{ "create", G_FLAG_VERBOSE | G_FLAG_LOADKLD, NULL,
{
G_OPT_SENTINEL
},
"[-v] prov ..."
},
{ "destroy", G_FLAG_VERBOSE, NULL,
{
{ 'f', "force", NULL, G_TYPE_BOOL },
G_OPT_SENTINEL
},
"[-fv] name"
},
G_CMD_SENTINEL
};
It has just two commands of its own: "create" and "destroy" along
with the four standard commands "list", "status", "load", and
"unload" provided by the base geom(8) utility. The base geom(8)
utility allows each command to use the G_FLAG_VERBOSE flag to specify
that a command should accept the -v flag and when the -v flag is
given the utility prints "Done." if the command completes successfully.
In the above example, both of the commands set the G_FLAG_VERBOSE,
so have the -v option available. In addition the "destroy" command
accepts the -f boolean flag to force the destruction.
If the "destroy" command wanted to also print out verbose information,
it would need to explicitly declare its intent by adding a line:
{ 'v', "verbose", NULL, G_TYPE_BOOL },
Before this change, the geom utility would silently ignore the above
line in the configuration file, so it was impossible for the utility
to know that the -v flag had been set on the command. With this
change a geom command can explicitly specify a -v option with a
line as given above and handle it as it would any other option. If
both a -v option and G_FLAG_VERBOSE are specified for a command
then both types of verbose information will be output when that
command is run with -v.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
