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. .Bl -tag -width ".Va last-hardware-update" .It Va auto-boot? If .Dq Li true , the system will try to boot automatically from the devices listed in .Va boot-device and .Va diag-device respectively, using the command specified in .Va boot-command at power-up. Default: .Dq Li true . .It Va auto-boot-retry? If set to .Dq Li true and .Va auto-boot? is also set to .Dq Li true , the system will try to boot from the specified boot devices forever.

Default: .Dq Li 0 . .It Va security-mode Boot monitor security level. One of the three possible values .Dq Li full , .Dq Li command , or .Dq Li none . When set to .Dq Li full , all boot monitor commands except for .Ic go require the password. When set to .Dq Li command , all boot monitor commands except for .Ic boot and .Ic go require the password. When set to .Dq Li none , no password is required. Default: .Dq Li none . .Pp When .Nm is used to set .Va security-mode to .Dq Li full or .Dq Li command , you will be prompted for the password.

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.
