Add -q/--quiet flag to the command line. With it, errors are not reported at all. Instead nothing is printed and the exit code is non-zero. Reviewed by: markj Sponsored by: Netflix, Inc Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29619

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This program manages
|
|
.Dq Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
|
|
.Pq UEFI
|
|
environment variables.
|
|
UEFI variables have three part: A namespace, a name and a value.
|
|
The namespace is a GUID that is self assigned by the group defining the
|
|
variables.
|
|
The name is a Unicode name for the variable.
|
|
The value is binary data.
|
|
All Unicode data is presented to the user as UTF-8.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20m
|
|
.It Fl n Ar name Fl -name Ar name
|
|
Specify the name of the variable to operate on.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
argument is the GUID of the variable, followed by a dash, followed by the
|
|
UEFI variable name.
|
|
The GUID may be in numeric format, or may be one of the well known
|
|
symbolic name (see
|
|
.Fl -list-guids
|
|
for a complete list).
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file Fl -fromfile Ar file
|
|
When writing or appending to a variable, take the data for the
|
|
variable's value from
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
instead of from the command line.
|
|
This flag implies
|
|
.Fl -write
|
|
unless the
|
|
.Fl -append
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl -print
|
|
flags are given.
|
|
This behavior is not well understood and is currently unimplemented
|
|
for writes.
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl -print
|
|
is specified, the contents of the file are used as the value to
|
|
print using any other specified flags.
|
|
This is used primarily for testing purposes for more complicated
|
|
variable decoding.
|
|
.It Fl a Fl -append
|
|
Append the specified value to the UEFI variable rather than replacing
|
|
it.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar attr Fl -attributes Ar attr
|
|
Specify, in hexadecimal, the attributes for this
|
|
variable.
|
|
See section 7.2 (GetVariable subsection, Related Definitions) of the
|
|
UEFI Specification for hex values to use.
|
|
.It Fl A Fl -ascii
|
|
Display the variable data as modified ascii: All printable characters
|
|
are printed, while unprintable characters are rendered as a two-digit
|
|
hexadecimal number preceded by a % character.
|
|
.It Fl b Fl -binary
|
|
Display the variable data as binary data.
|
|
Usually will be used with the
|
|
.Fl N
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl -no-name
|
|
flag.
|
|
Useful in scripts.
|
|
.It Fl D Fl -delete
|
|
Delete the specified variable.
|
|
May not be used with either the
|
|
.Fl -write
|
|
or the
|
|
.Fl -append
|
|
flags.
|
|
No
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
may be specified.
|
|
.It Fl d Fl -device Fl -device-path
|
|
Interpret the variables printed as UEFI device paths and print the
|
|
UEFI standard string representation.
|
|
.It Fl g Fl -guid
|
|
Convert GUIDs to names if they are known
|
|
.Po and show them up in
|
|
.Fl -list-guids
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.It Fl H Fl -hex
|
|
List variable data as a hex dump.
|
|
.It Fl L Fl -list-guids
|
|
Lists the well known GUIDs.
|
|
The names listed here may be used in place of the numeric GUID values.
|
|
These names will replace the numeric GUID values unless
|
|
.Fl -raw-guid
|
|
flag is specified.
|
|
.It Fl l Fl -list
|
|
List all the variables.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl -print
|
|
flag is also listed, their values will be displayed.
|
|
.It Fl -load-option
|
|
Decode the variable as if it were a UEFI Boot Option, including information about what device and/or paths the UEFI DevicePaths decode to.
|
|
.It Fl N Fl -no-name
|
|
Do not display the variable name.
|
|
.It Fl p Fl -print
|
|
Print the value of the variable.
|
|
.It Fl q Fl -quiet
|
|
When an error occurs, exit with a non-zero value without outputting any error messages.
|
|
Otherwise, produce the normal output and exit with a zero status.
|
|
.It Fl R Fl -raw-guid
|
|
Do not substitute well known names for GUID numeric values in output.
|
|
.It Fl u Fl -utf8
|
|
Treat the value of the variable as UCS2 and convert it to UTF8 and
|
|
print the result.
|
|
.It Fl w Fl -write
|
|
Write (replace) the variable specified with the value specified from
|
|
standard input.
|
|
No command line option to do this is available since UEFI variables
|
|
are binary structures rather than strings.
|
|
.Xr echo 1
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
can be used to specify simple strings.
|
|
.It Ar name
|
|
Display the
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is intended to be compatible (strict superset) with a program
|
|
of the same name included in the Red Hat libefivar package,
|
|
but the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl -print-decimal
|
|
flags are not implemented and never will be.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
flag is short for
|
|
.Fl -device-path .
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
Appendix A of the UEFI specification has the format for GUIDs.
|
|
All GUIDs
|
|
.Dq Globally Unique Identifiers
|
|
have the format described in RFC 4122.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 11.1 .
