.Dt MENU.4TH 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm menu.4th
.Nd loader dynamic menu boot module
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file that goes by the name of
.Nm
is a set of commands designed to display a dynamic menu system managed through
a system of carefully named environment variables.
The commands of
.Nm
by themselves are not enough for most uses.
Please refer to the
examples below for the most common situations, and to
.Xr loader 5
for additional commands.
.Pp
Before using any of the commands provided in
.Nm ,
it must be included
through the command:
.Pp
.Dl include menu.4th
.Pp
This line is present in the default
.Pa /boot/forth/menu.rc
file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
.Pp
The commands provided by it are:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width disable-module_module -compact -offset indent
.It Ic menu-init
Draws the menu bounding box and initializes some internal state variables.
This should be called before any other menu-related functions.
.It Ic menu-display
Displays the menu (configured via the below documented environment variables)
and blocks on keyboard input, awaiting user action.
.It Ic menu-erase
Clears the screen area within the menu bounding box.
.It Ic menu-redraw
Calls
.Ic menu-erase
and then redraws the menu.
.It Ic menu-unset
Unsets the environment variables associated with individual menu items,
clearing the way for a new menu.
.It Ic menu-clear
Calls
.Ic menu-unset
and then
.Ic menu-erase .
.El
.Pp
The environment variables that effect its behavior are:
.Bl -tag -width bootfile -offset indent
.It Va loader_color
If set to
.Dq Li NO
(case-insensitive) or
.Dq Li 0 ,
causes the menu to be displayed without color.
The default is to use ANSI coloring whenever possible.
If serial boot is enabled, color is disabled by default.
Color features include the use of ANSI bold for numbers appearing to the left
of menuitems and the use of special
.Dq Li ansi
variables described below.
.It Va autoboot_delay
Number of seconds
.Ic menu-display
will wait before executing
.Va menu_timeout_command
.Ic ( boot
by default) unless a key is pressed.
If set to
.Dq Li NO
(case-insensitive)
.Ic menu-display
will wait for user input and never execute
.Ic menu_timeout_command .
If set to
.Dq Li -1 ,
.Ic menu-display
will boot immediately, preventing both interruption of the
.Ic autoboot
process and escaping to the loader prompt.
Default is
.Dq Li 10 .
See
.Xr loader 8
for additional information.
.It Va menu_timeout_command
The command to be executed after
.Va autoboot_delay
seconds if a key is not pressed.
The default is

Default is 23.
.It Va loader_menu_title
The text to display above the menu.
Default is
.Dq Li "Welcome to FreeBSD" .
.It Va loader_menu_title_align
Default is to align
.Ic loader_menu_title
centered above the menu. This can be set to
.Dq Li left
or
.Dq Li right
to instead display the title left-or-right justified
.Pq respectively .
.It Va loader_menu_x
Sets the desired column position of the boot menu.
Default is 5.

Default is 10.
.It Va menu_caption[x]
The text to be displayed for the numbered menuitem
.Dq Li x .
.It Va menu_command[x]
The command to be executed when the number associated with menuitem
.Dq Li x
is pressed.
See the list of included FICL words below for some ideas.
.It Va menu_keycode[x]
An optional decimal ASCII keycode to be associated with menuitem
.Dq Li x .
When pressed, will cause the execution of
.Va menu_command[x] .
.It Va ansi_caption[x]
If
.Va loader_color
is set
.Pq enabled by default ,
use this caption for menuitem
.Dq Li x
instead of
.Va menu_caption[x] .
.It Va toggled_text[x]
For menuitems where
.Va menu_command[x]
is set to
.Dq Li toggle_menuitem
(or a derivative thereof), the text displayed
will toggle between this and

.It Va toggled_ansi[x]
Like
.Va toggled_text[x]
except used when
.Va loader_color
is enabled
.Pq default .
.It Va menu_caption[x][y]
For menuitems where
.Va menu_command[x]
is set to
.Dq Li cycle_menuitem
(or a derivative thereof), the text displayed will cycle between this and other
.Va menu_caption[x][y]
entries.
.It Va ansi_caption[x][y]
Like
.Va menu_caption[x][y]
except used when
.Va loader_color
is enabled
.Pq default .
.It Va menu_acpi

.Dq Li x
associated with a given menuitem, that menuitem will allow to select
acpi-user-options
.Pq see Xr eeprom 1M .
.It Va menu_options
When set to a number
.Dq Li x ,
a single blank-line and an
.Dq Li Options
