KENV(1) BSD General Commands Manual KENV(1) NAME kenv -- dump or modify the kernel environment SYNOPSIS kenv [-hq] kenv [-q] variable[=value] kenv [-q] -u variable DESCRIPTION The kenv utility will dump the kernel environment if invoked without ar- guments. If the -h option is specified, it will limit the report to ker- nel probe hints. If an optional variable name is specified, kenv will only report that value. If the -u option is specified, kenv will delete the given environment variable. If the environment variable is followed by an optional value, kenv will set the environment variable to this value. If the -q option is set, warnings normally printed as a result of being unable to perform the requested operation will be suppressed. Variables can be added to the kernel environment using the /boot/loader.conf file, or also statically compiled into the kernel using the statement env filename in the kernel config file. The file can contain lines of the form name = value # this is a comment where whitespace around name and '=', and everything after a '#' charac- ter, are ignored. Almost any printable character except '=' is accept- able as part of a name. Quotes are optional and necessary only if the value contains whitespace.
