32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm core.lua
35.Nd FreeBSD core module
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37.Nm
38contains core functionality that does not have a more fitting module.
39.Pp
40Before hooking into or using the functionality provided by
41.Nm ,
42it must be included with a statement such as the following:
43.Pp
44.Dl local core = require("core")
45.Ss CONSTANTS
46The following raw key code constants are defined in
47.Nm :
48.Bl -tag -width KEY_BACKSPACE -compact -offset indent
49.It Ic KEY_BACKSPACE
50The backspace code.
51Should generally be checked along with
52.Ic KEY_DELETE
53for backspace functionality.
54.It Ic KEY_ENTER
55The enter key, or hard return.
56.It Ic KEY_DELETE
57The delete code.
58Should generally be checked along with
59.Ic KEY_BACKSPACE
60for backspace functionality.

85menu entry.
86.El
87.Pp
88Please see
89.Xr menu.lua 8
90for extended descriptions and usage of the
91.Ic MENU_*
92constants.
93.Ss Exported functions
94The following functions are exported from
95.Nm :
96.Bl -tag -width core.getACPIPresent -offset indent
97.It Fn core.setVerbose verbose
98Sets or unsets
99.Ev boot_verbose .
100If
101.Fa verbose
102is omitted, toggle the current verbose setting.
103.It Fn core.setSingleUser singleUser
104Sets or unsets
105.Ev boot_single .
106If
107.Fa singleUser
108is omitted, toggle the current single user setting.
109.It Fn core.getACPIPresent checkingSystemDefaults
110Check whether ACPI is present.
111This will only be accurate for i386-compatible loaders, including non-UEFI
112loaders on amd64 systems.
113If
114.Fa checkingSystemDefaults
115is true, ignore the current value of
116.Ev hint.acpi.0.disabled .
117Otherwise, return true only if ACPI is both present and not disabled.
118.It Fn core.setACPI acpi
119Sets or unsets
120.Ev acpi_load ,
121.Ev hint.acpi.0.disabled ,
122and
123.Ev loader.acpi_disabled_by_user .
124If
125.Fa acpi
126is omitted, toggle the current ACPI setting.
127.It Fn core.setSafeMode safeMode
128Set the safe mode setting.
129Sets or unsets
130.Ev kern.smp.disabled ,
131.Ev hw.ata.ata_dma ,
132.Ev hw.ata.atapi_dma ,
133.Ev hw.ata.wc ,
134.Ev hw.eisa_slots ,
135.Ev kern.eventtimer.periodic ,
136and
137.Ev kern.geom.part.check_integrity .
138If
139.Fa safeMode
140is omitted, toggle the current safe mode setting.
141.It Fn core.kernelList
142Returns a table of kernels to display on the boot menu.
143This will combine
144.Ic kernel
145and
146.Ic kernels
147from
148.Xr loader.conf 5 .
149If
150.Ic kernels_autodetect
151is set in
152.Xr loader.conf 5 ,
153kernels will be autodetected from the current system.
154.It Fn core.bootenvDefault
155Returns the default boot environment, nil if unset.
156.It Fn core.bootenvList
157Returns a table of boot environments, or an empty table.
158These will be picked up using the
159.Ev bootenvs
160and
161.Ev bootenvs_count
162variables set by
163.Xr zfsloader 8 .
164.It Fn core.setDefaults
165Resets ACPI, safe mode, single user, and verbose settings to their system
166defauilts.
167.It Fn core.autoboot argstr
168Loads the kernel and specified modules, then invokes the
169.Ic autoboot
170.Xr loader 8
171command with
172.Fa argstr
173as-is.
174.It Fn core.boot argstr
175Loads the kernel and specified modules, then invokes the
176.Ic boot
177.Xr loader 8
178command with
179.Fa argstr
180as-is.
181.It Fn core.isSingleUserBoot
182Returns true if
183.Ev boot_single
184is set to yes.
185.It Fn core.isZFSBoot
186Returns true if
187.Ev currdev
188is set to a
189.Xr zfs 8
190dataset.
191.It Fn core.isSerialBoot
192Returns true if we are booting over serial.
193This checks
194.Ev console ,
195.Ev boot_serial ,
196and
197.Ev boot_multicons .
198.It Fn core.isSystem386
199Returns true if this bootloader was compiled as an i386 binary.
200This generally applies to i386 loaders as well as non-UEFI loaders on amd64.
201.It Fn core.deepCopyTable tbl
202Recursively deep copies
203.Fa tbl
204and returns the result.
205.It Fn core.popFrontTable tbl
206Pops the front element off of
207.Fa tbl ,
208and returns two return values: the front element, and the rest of the table.
209If there are no elements, this returns nil and nil.
210If there is one element, this returns the front element and an empty table.
211This will not operate on truly associative tables; numeric indices are
212required.
