.Sh NAME
.Nm kenv
.Nd dump or modify the kernel environment
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl h
.Nm
.Ar variable Ns Op = Ns Ar value
.Nm
.Fl u
.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 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.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr kenv 2 ,
.Xr loader 8
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
utility appeared in
.Fx 4.1.1 .

Initial kenv(1) hack for dumping the kernel environment. This can be used to extract modified boot hints to make loader(8)-time changes "sticky". It tries to use \ style quoting so that it can be used directly with foo.conf files. It can also extract specific variables. 2000-07-08 10:33:40 +02:00			`.\"`
