VERSION.4TH(7) Standards, Environments, and Macros VERSION.4TH(7)

NAME

version.4th - loader version string boot module

DESCRIPTION

The file that goes by the name of version.4th is a set of commands
designed to draw the boot loader version at the bottom-right of the
screen. The commands of version.4th by themselves are not enough for
most uses. Please refer to the examples below for the most common
situations, and to loader(7) for additional commands.

Before using any of the commands provided in version.4th, it must be
included through the command:

include version.4th

This line is present in the default /boot/forth/menu.rc file, so it is
not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.

The commands provided by it are:

print_version Prints the contents of the loader_version
environment variable right-justified at
the column loader_version_x and row
loader_version_y.

The environment variables that effect its behavior are:

loader_version
Set automatically by loader(7), but you can override it
by setting in loader.conf(5). This should be the
version of boot loader used.

loader_version_x
Sets the desired ending column position of
loader_version. Default is 80.

loader_version_y
Sets the desired ending row position of loader_version.
Default is 24.

loader_color
If set to "NO" (case-insensitive) or "0", causes the
version to be printed without color (default is ANSI
Cyan).

FILES

/boot/loader The loader(7).
/boot/forth/version.4th
version.4th itself.
/boot/loader.rc loader(7) bootstrapping script.

EXAMPLES

Override loader(7) version in loader.conf(5):

loader_version="loader 1.1"
