BOOTPARAMS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPARAMS(8)NAMEbootparams - get system boot parameters
SYNOPSISbootparams [prefix ...]
DESCRIPTION
The bootparams utility retrieves system boot parameters. The boot param-
eters to be retrieved are described using a ``Management Information
Base'' (``MIB'') style name, described as a dotted set of components.
If no arguments are given, bootparams will display all boot parameters.
The display can be restricted by specifying one or more first level pre-
fixes; the output will be limited to values that start with that prefix.
Boot parameters contain information learned from the BIOS, or parameters
specified to the boot command that are saved in memory and passed to the
kernel.
