These arguments 58 -- are pushed directly to the stack by loader, then handed off to 59 -- cli_execute. cli_execute then passes them on to the invoked 60 -- function, where they appear as varargs that must be peeled apart into 61 -- their respective components. 62 local _, argv = cli.arguments(...) 63 64 print("This is the foo command!") 65 for k, v in ipairs(argv) do 66 print("arg #" .. tostring(k) .. ": '" .. v .. "'") 67 end 68 -- Perform a loader command directly. This will not get dispatched back 69 -- to Lua, so it is acceptable to have a function of the exact same name 70 -- in loader. Lua will have the first chance to handle any commands 71 -- executed at the loader prompt. 72 loader.perform("foo") 73end 74.Ed 75.Pp 76This function may be invoked by a user at the loader prompt by simply typing 77.Ic foo . 78Arguments may be passed to it as usual, space-delimited. 79.Ss Default Commands 80As of present, the 81.Nm 82module by default provides commands for 83.Ic autoboot , 84.Ic boot , 85.Ic boot-conf , 86and 87.Ic reload-conf . 88.Pp 89For 90.Ic autoboot , 91.Ic boot , 92and 93.Ic boot-conf , 94the 95.Xr core.lua 8 96module will load all ELF modules as-needed before executing the equivalent 97built-in loader commands. 98All non-kernel arguments to these commands are passed in the same order to the 99loader command. 100.Pp 101The 102.Ic reload-conf 103command will reload the configuration from disk. 104This is useful if you have manually changed currdev and would like to easily 105reload the configuration from the new device. 106.Ss Exported Functions 107The following functions are exported from 108.Nm : 109.Bl -tag -width cli.arguments -offset indent 110.It Fn cli.arguments ... 111Takes varargs passed on the stack from 112.Xr loader 8 113to 114.Ic cli_execute , 115splits them out into two return values: the command name, traditionally argv[0], 116and the rest of argv. 117.El 118.Sh SEE ALSO 119.Xr loader.conf 5 , 120.Xr core.lua 8 , 121.Xr loader 8 122.Sh AUTHORS 123The 124.Nm 125file was originally written by 126.An Kyle Evans Aq Mt kevans@FreeBSD.org . 127
