.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Nm

.Ar name Ns Op = Ns Ar value
.Ar ...
.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, only the variable selected by
.Ar name
and its value is printed or changed if
.Ar name
is followed by
.Ql =
and a
.Ar value .
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl
Commands for displaying or changing variables are taken from stdin, allowing
one
.Ar name
or one
.Ar name
and
.Ar value
pair per line.
The output is printed on stdout.
.It Fl a
Print all available configuration variables and their current values.
.El
.Sh VARIABLES AND VALUES
Below are variables and values that one is likely to find on a system equipped
with OpenBoot 3.x and Open Firmware respectively.
.Pp
Note: the attempt to set a variable to an illegal value results in the
Open Firmware setting it to some legal value instead.
The
.Nm
utility will detect this, try to recover the previous value of the variable
and issue a warning telling that the requested value could not be set.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
utility first appeared in
.Bx 4.4 .
It was adopted from there by
.Fx 2.0 .
The
.Nm
utility was removed from
.Fx
again after
.Fx 2.1.7
because the utility was unused at that time.
The present implementation of the
.Nm
utility first appeared in
.Fx 5.3 .
It is inspired by the
.Nx
.Xr eeprom 8
and SunOS/Solaris
.Xr eeprom 1M
utilities.
.Sh AUTHORS
.An -nosplit
The
.Nm
utility uses base code from the
.Nx
version written by
.An "Jason R. Thorpe" .
The handlers for the Open Firmware
.Pa /options
node were written by
.An "Marius Strobl" Aq marius@FreeBSD.org .
The code for accessing the Open Firmware device tree is shared with the
.Xr ofwdump 8
utility written by
.An "Thomas Moestl" Aq tmm@FreeBSD.org .
.Sh BUGS
Currently,
.Nm
only supports systems equipped with Open Firmware and is only tested on Sun
Microsystems sun4u machines.
