.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility provides an interface for displaying and changing the system's
|
|
configuration variables contained in EEPROM or NVRAM.
|
|
In the first synopsis form, all available configuration variables and their
|
|
current values are printed.
|
|
In the second form, the variable selected by
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
is either removed or its value is changed to the
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
following by
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
sign.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d Ar name
|
|
Delete the variable selected by
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
from the EEPROM or NVRAM. The
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
flag can be specified multiple times, in which case multiple variables
|
|
will be removed.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Print all available configuration variables and their current values.
|
|

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Print all available configuration variables and their current values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "nvram -p"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Remove the variable named
|
|
.Va local-mac-address? :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "nvram -d local-mac-address\e?"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set the value of the
|
|
.Va local-mac-address?
|
|
variable to
|
|
.Dq Li true :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "nvram local-mac-address\e?=true"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the
|
|
.Ql \e
|
|
in the above examples is used to keep the shell from interpreting the
