.Nd dump or modify the kernel environment
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl hNq
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl qv
|
|
.Ar variable Ns Op = Ns Ar value

.Ar variable
|
|
.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 N
|
|
option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will only display variable names and not their values.
|
|
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
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option is set, the variable name will be printed out for the
|
|
environment variable in addition to the value when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is executed with a variable name.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Sq name
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq = ,
|
|
and everything after a
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
character, are ignored.
|
|
Almost any printable character except
|
|
.Sq =
|
|
is acceptable as part of a name.
|
|
Quotes are optional and necessary only if the value contains whitespace.
