.Sh NAME
.Nm menusets.4th
.Nd FreeBSD dynamic submenu boot module
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file that goes by the name of
.Nm
is a set of commands designed to add submenu functionality to the dynamic menu
system provided by
.Xr menu.4th 8 .
Submenus are 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 menu.4th 8
for additional commands.
.Pp
Before using any of the commands provided in
.Nm ,
it must be included
through the command:
.Pp
.Dl include menusets.4th
.Pp
This line is present in the default
.Pa /boot/menu-commands.4th
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 menuset-loadinitial -compact -offset indent
.It Ic menuset-loadsetnum
Takes a single integer on the stack to identify the menuset environment
variables to be activated (see environment variables below).
.It Ic menuset-loadinitial
If $menuset_initial is set, passes the value to menuset-loadsetnum.
The value must be a number.
.It Ic menusets-unset
Unsets the environment variables associated with all menusets.
Increments starting at 1 and stops at the first unconfigured menuset.
A menuset is considered configured if the caption for item 1 is set.
.El
.Pp
The environment variables that effect its behavior are:
.Bl -tag -width bootfile -offset indent
.It Va menuset_initial
Number to pass to menuset-loadsetnum when menuset-loadinitial is called.
.It Va menuset_nameN
Used to give a name to a menuset.
.El
.Pp
When a menuset is NOT given a name (the default),
menuset N is comprised of the following environment variables:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width menusetN_caption[x][y] -compact -offset indent
.It Va ansisetN_caption[x]
-> ansi_caption[x]
.It Va ansisetN_caption[x][y]
-> ansi_caption[x][y]
.It Va menusetN_acpi
-> menu_acpi
.It Va menusetN_caption[x]
-> menu_caption[x]
.It Va menusetN_caption[x][y]
-> menu_caption[x][y]
.It Va menusetN_command[x]
-> menu_command[x]
.It Va menusetN_init
->
.Dq Li evaluated
.It Va menusetN_init[x]
-> menu_init[x]
.It Va menusetN_keycode[x]
-> menu_keycode[x]
.It Va menusetN_options
-> menu_options
.It Va menusetN_optionstext
-> menu_optionstext
.It Va menusetN_reboot
-> menu_reboot
.It Va toggledsetN_ansi[x]
-> toggled_ansi[x]
.It Va toggledsetN_text[x]
-> toggled_text[x]
.El
.Pp
When you choose to give a menuset a name (by setting $menuset_nameN),
menuset N is instead comprised of the following environment variables:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width NAMEmenu_caption[x][y] -compact -offset indent
.It Va NAMEansi_caption[x]
-> ansi_caption[x]
.It Va NAMEansi_caption[x][y]
-> ansi_caption[x][y]
.It Va NAMEmenu_acpi
-> menu_acpi
.It Va NAMEmenu_caption[x]
-> menu_caption[x]
.It Va NAMEmenu_caption[x][y]
-> menu_caption[x][y]
.It Va NAMEmenu_command[x]
-> menu_command[x]
.It Va NAMEmenu_init
->
.Dq Li evaluated
.It Va NAMEmenu_init[x]
-> menu_init[x]
.It Va NAMEmenu_keycode[x]
-> menu_keycode[x]
.It Va NAMEmenu_options
-> menu_options
.It Va NAMEmenu_optionstext
-> menu_optionstext
.It Va NAMEmenu_reboot
-> menu_reboot
.It Va NAMEtoggled_ansi[x]
-> toggled_ansi[x]
.It Va NAMEtoggled_text[x]
-> toggled_text[x]
.El
.Pp
where
.Dq Li NAME
is the value of $menuset_nameN.
In the case of $NAMEmenu_init ($menusetN_init when $menuset_nameN is unset),
the value is evaluated as an FICL statement.
This can be used to dynamically adjust the menuset variables right before the
menu is activated.
.Pp
In addition,
.Nm
provides the following FICL words:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width menuset -compact -offset indent
.It Ic menuset-checksetnum ( N -- )
Given a single integer on the stack, sets a global variable
.Va menuset_use_name
to a boolean based on whether $menuset_nameN is set (true) or not (false).
Also sets $affix temporary variable (prefix or infix depending on
menuset_use_name).
Automatically called by menuset-loadsetnum and menusets-unset.
.It Ic menuset-loadvar ( -- )
Used indirectly to shorten syntax and mitigate dictionary size.
Requires the following temporary environment variables:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width affix -compact -offset indent
.It Va type
should be set to one of: menu toggled ansi
.It Va var
should be set to one of: caption command keycode text ...
.It Va affix
either a prefix (menuset_use_name is true) or infix (menuset_use_name is false)
.El
.Pp
If the global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true, the variable ${type}_${var} is made to
equal the value of the variable ${affix}${type}_${var}
(note: in this case menuset-checksetnum has set $affix to $menuset_nameN).
Otherwise (when
.Va menuset_use_name
is false), the variable ${type}_${var} is made to
equal the value of the variable ${type}set${affix}_${var}
(note: in this case menuset-checksetnum has set $affix to N).
.Pp
Both the global variable
.Va menuset_use_name
and the environment variable $affix are automatically handled by
menuset-checksetnum above (which is automatically called by
menuset-loadsetnum).
.It Ic menuset-unloadvar ( -- )
Used indirectly to shorten syntax and mitigate dictionary size.
Like menuset-loadvar except it unsets the menuset variable.
If global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true ($affix is $menuset_nameN),
variable ${affix}${type}_${var} is unset.
Otherwise, $affix is N and variable ${type}set${affix}_${var} is unset.
.It Ic menuset-loadmenuvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq menu
and calls menuset-loadvar.
.It Ic menuset-unloadmenuvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq menu
and calls menuset-unloadvar.
.It Ic menuset-loadxvar ( -- )
Like menuset-loadvar except it takes an additional temporary variable $x.
If the global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true (making $affix equal $menuset_nameN),
sets variable ${type}_${var}[${x}] to variable ${affix}${type}_${var}[${x}].
Otherwise ($affix being N), sets the same variable to instead
${type}set{affix}_${var}[${x}].
.It Ic menuset-unloadxvar ( -- )
Like menuset-loadxvar except it unsets the menuset variable.
If global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true, unsets ${affix}${type}_${var}[${x}].
Otherwise, unsets ${type}set${affix}_${var}[${x}].
.It Ic menuset-loadansixvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-loadxvar
.It Ic menuset-unloadansixvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-unloadxvar
.It Ic menuset-loadmenuxvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-loadxvar
.It Ic menuset-unloadmenuxvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-unloadxvar
.It Ic menuset-loadtoggledxvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq toggled
and calls menuset-loadxvar
.It Ic menuset-unloadtoggledxvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq toggled
and calls menuset-unloadxvar
.It Ic menuset-loadxyvar ( -- )
Like menuset-loadxvar except it takes an additional temporary variable $y.
If the global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true ($affix is $menuset_nameN),
sets variable ${type}_${var}[${x}][${y}] to ${affix}${type}_${var}[${x}][${y}].
Otherwise ($affix is N) sets the same variable to instead
${type}set${affix}_${var}[${x}][${y}].
.It Ic menuset-unloadxyvar ( -- )
Like menuset-loadxyvar except it unsets the menuset variable.
If the global
.Va menuset_use_name
is true, unsets ${affix}${type}_${var}[${x}][${y}].
Otherwise, unsets ${type}set${affix}_${var}[${x}][${y}].
.It Ic menuset-loadansixyvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-loadxyvar.
.It Ic menuset-unloadansixyvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq ansi
and calls menuset-unloadxyvar.
.It Ic menuset-loadmenuxyvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq menu
and calls menuset-loadxyvar.
.It Ic menuset-unloadmenuxyvar ( -- )
Sets $type to
.Dq menu
and calls menuset-unloadxyvar.
.It Ic menuset-setnum-namevar ( N -- C-Addr/U )
Takes a single integer on the stack and replaces it with a string (in c-addr/u
format) whose value is
.Dq menuset_nameN .
For example, if given 1 returns
.Dq menuset_name1 .
.It Ic menuset-cleanup ( N -- )
Unsets all the various temporary variables, currently
.Va type ,
.Va var ,
.Va x ,
.Va y ,
and
.Va affix .
.El
.Pp
For all values of
.Dq Li x
above, use any number between 1 through 9. Sorry, double-digits are not
currently supported.
For all values of
.Dq Li N
above, use any number between 1 and 65535.
