.Dt CLI.LUA 8
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cli.lua
|
|
.Nd FreeBSD Lua CLI module
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains the main functionality required to add new CLI commands, which can be
|
|
executed at the loader prompt.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before hooking into the functionality provided by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
it must be included with a statement such as the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl local cli = require("cli")
|
|
.Ss Adding new commands
|
|
New loader commands may be created by adding functions to the object returned by
|
|
requiring the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For instance:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
local cli = require("cli")
|
|
|
|
cli.foo = function(...)
|
|
-- Expand args to command name and the rest of argv. These arguments
|
|
-- are pushed directly to the stack by loader, then handed off to
|
|
-- cli_execute. cli_execute then passes them on to the invoked
|
|
-- function, where they appear as varargs that must be peeled apart into
|
|
-- their respective components.
|
|
local _, argv = cli.arguments(...)
|
|
|
|
print("This is the foo command!")
|
|
for k, v in ipairs(argv) do
|
|
print("arg #" .. tostring(k) .. ": '" .. v .. "'")
|
|
end
|
|
-- Perform a loader command directly. This will not get dispatched back
|
|
-- to Lua, so it is acceptable to have a function of the exact same name
|
|
-- in loader. Lua will have the first chance to handle any commands
|
|
-- executed at the loader prompt.
|
|
loader.perform("foo")
|
|
end
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function may be invoked by a user at the loader prompt by simply typing
|
|
.Ic foo .
|
|
Arguments may be passed to it as usual, space-delimited.
|
|
.Ss Default Commands
|
|
As of present, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module by default provides commands for
|
|
.Ic autoboot
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic boot .
|
|
In both cases, the
|
|
.Xr core.lua 8
|
|
module will load all ELF modules as-needed before executing the equivalent
|
|
built-in loader commands.
|
|
All non-kernel arguments to these commands are passed in the same order to the
|
|
loader command.
|
|
.Ss Exported Functions
|
|
The following functions are exported from
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width cli.arguments -offset indent
|
|
.It Fn cli.arguments ...
|
|
Takes varargs passed on the stack from
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
to
|
|
.Ic cli_execute ,
|
|
splits them out into two return values: the command name, traditionally argv[0],
|
|
and the rest of argv.
