28.Sh NAME
29.Nm menu.4th
30.Nd loader dynamic menu boot module
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The file that goes by the name of
33.Nm
34is a set of commands designed to display a dynamic menu system managed through
35a system of carefully named environment variables.
36The commands of

51This line is present in the default
52.Pa /boot/forth/menu.rc
53file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
54.Pp
55The commands provided by it are:
56.Pp
57.Bl -tag -width disable-module_module -compact -offset indent
58.It Ic menu-init
59Draws the menu bounding box and initializes some internal state variables.
60This should be called before any other menu-related functions.
