1 1 LOADER.4TH(5) Standards, Environments, and Macros LOADER.4TH(5)
2 2
3 3 NAME
4 4 loader.4th - loader.conf processing tools
5 5
6 6 DESCRIPTION
7 7 The file that goes by the name of loader.4th is a set of commands
8 8 designed to manipulate loader.conf(4) files. The default /boot/loader.rc
9 9 includes loader.4th and uses one of its commands to automatically read
10 10 and process the standard loader.conf(4) files. Other commands exists to
11 11 help the user specify alternate configurations.
12 12
13 13 The commands of loader.4th by themselves are not enough for most uses.
14 14 Please refer to the examples below for the most common situations, and to
15 15 loader(5) for additional commands.
16 16
17 17 Before using any of the commands provided in loader.4th, it must be
18 18 included through the command:
19 19
20 20 include loader.4th
21 21
22 22 This line is present in the default /boot/loader.rc file, so it is not
23 23 needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
24 24
25 25 The commands provided by it are:
26 26 boot
27 27 boot kernelname [...]
28 28 boot directory [...]
29 29 boot -flag ... Boot as specified by the loader.conf(4)
30 30 files read.
31 31
32 32 Depending on the arguments passed, it can
33 33 override boot flags and either the kernel
34 34 name or the search path for kernel and
35 35 modules.
36 36

38 38 boot-conf kernelname [...]
39 39 boot-conf directory [...]
40 40 boot-conf -flag ... Works like boot described above, but instead
41 41 of booting immediately, uses autoboot, so it
42 42 can be stopped.
43 43
44 44 start Reads /boot/defaults/loader.conf, all other
45 45 loader.conf(4) files specified in it, then
46 46 loads the desired kernel and modules (if not
47 47 already loaded). After which you can use
48 - the boot or autoboot commmands or simply
49 - exit (provided autoboot_delay is not set to
50 - NO) to boot the system. start is the
51 - command used in the default /boot/loader.rc
52 - file (see loader(5)).
48 + the boot or autoboot commands or simply exit
49 + (provided autoboot_delay is not set to NO)
50 + to boot the system. start is the command
51 + used in the default /boot/loader.rc file
52 + (see loader(5)).
53 53
54 54 initialize Initialize the support library so commands
55 55 can be used without executing start first.
56 56 Like start, it reads
57 57 /boot/defaults/loader.conf and all other
58 58 loader.conf(4) files specified in it (but
59 59 does not load kernel or modules). Returns a
60 60 flag on the stack to indicate if any
61 61 configuration files were successfully
62 62 loaded.
63 63
64 64 read-conf filename Reads and processes a loader.conf(4) file.
65 65 Does not proceed to boot.
66 66
67 67 enable-module module Enables the loading of module.
68 68
69 69 disable-module module Disables the loading of module.
70 70
71 71 toggle-module module Toggles the loading of module on and off.
72 72
73 73 show-module module Shows the information gathered in the
74 74 loader.conf(4) files about the module
75 75 module.
76 76
77 77 show-module-options Shows all modules defined in current
78 78 loader.conf(4) configuration.
79 79
80 80 retry Used inside loader.conf(4) files to specify
81 81 the action after a module loading fails.
82 82
83 83 ignore Used inside loader.conf(4) files to specify
84 84 the action after a module loading fails.
85 85 try-include file [file ...]
86 86 Process script files if they exist. Each
87 87 file, in turn, is completely read into
88 88 memory, and then each of its lines is passed
89 89 to the command line interpreter. If any
90 90 error is returned by the interpreter, the
91 91 try-include command aborts immediately,
92 92 without reading any other files, and
93 93 silently returns without error.
94 94
95 95 FILES
96 96 /boot/loader The loader(5).
97 97 /boot/forth/loader.4th loader.4th itself.
98 98 /boot/loader.rc loader(5) bootstrapping script.
99 99 /boot/defaults/loader.conf
100 100 File loaded by the start command.
101 101
