See the definition of .Xr menu.lua 8 for a more in-depth explanation of carousels. .It Fn config.setCarouselIndex id idx Set the chosen index for the carousel menu entry described by .Ev id to .Ev idx . A lookup will be done as needed to determine what value .Ev idx actually corresponds to. .It Fn config.readConf file loaded_files Process .Pa file as a configuration file .Po e.g., as .Pa loader.conf .Pc and then processing files listed in .Ev loader_conf_files variable .Po see .Xr loader.conf 5 .Pc . The caller may optionally pass in a table as the .Ev loaded_files argument, which uses filenames as keys and any non-nil value to indicate that the file named by the key has already been loaded and should not be loaded again. .It Fn config.processFile name silent Process and parse .Ev name as a configuration file. Returns true if .Ev name exists and parses without error, false otherwise. If .Ev silent is true, .Fn config.processFile will not consider a failure to read the file as a failure. .It Fn config.parse text Parse .Ev text as a configuration file. This is used internally by .Fn config.processFile to parse the contents of a configuration file. Returns true if parsing succeeds without error, false if an error occurred. A message is also printed to the console if an error is encountered. .It Fn config.loadKernel other_kernel Attempts to load .Ev other_kernel as a kernel. If .Ev other_kernel is unset .Fn config.loadKernel will attempt to load .Dq kernel . Otherwise, it will try to load .Dq kernel first from .Pa /boot/{other_kernel} , then from .Pa {other_kernel} . .Pp The latter is tried in case an absolute path has been specified to the kernel to use. .Ev module_path is amended to include the directory the kernel was found in if either of these paths result in a loaded kernel. .Pp If no kernel was loaded from either of these paths, .Fn config.loadKernel will attempt to load a kernel named .Dq {other_kernel} from .Ev module_path instead of attempting to load a kernel named .Dq kernel . .Pp Returns true if a kernel was loaded, false if no kernel was loaded. .It Fn config.selectKernel kernel Set .Ev kernel to the kernel that will be loaded when either .Ic autoboot or .Ic boot are invoked. This is usually called by the menu system as the kernel selector carousel is toggled through. .It Fn config.load file reload Loads .Ev file as a configuration file. If .Ev file is not specified, .Pa /boot/defaults/loader.conf is used. .Fn config.load will then silently attempt to process any files specified in .Ev loader_conf_files after .Ev file has been processed. .Xr nextboot 8 configuration will also be checked as part of .Fn config.load . Before returning, all .Dq config.loaded hooks will be run if .Ev reload is not set to true. .It Fn config.reload file Reloads .Ev file as a configuration file. .Fn config.reload will restore the environment to how it existed before the last config was loaded, then it will invoke .Fn config.load file . Before returning, all .Dq config.reloaded hooks will be run. .It Fn config.loadelf Loads all ELF objects, the selected kernel as well as any modules configured to be preloaded in .Xr loader.conf 5 . This will be called by the Lua intercepted .Ic autoboot and .Ic boot commands. .It Fn config.enableModule modname Marks a module named .Fa modname to be loaded during .Fn config.loadelf . If the module was previously blacklisted, then it will be forcefully allowed to load. .It Fn config.disableModule modname Marks a module named .Fa modname to not be loaded during .Fn config.loadelf . .It Fn config.isModuleEnabled modname Checks if the module named .Fa modname will be loaded during .Fn config.loadelf . It checks both that the module is marked for loading and that it is either forced or not blacklisted. .It Fn config.getModuleInfo Returns a table with .Dq modules and .Dq blacklist tables describing the modules that the config module has been made aware of via .Xr loader.conf 5 as well as a representation of .Ar module_blacklist . .El .Ss Defined Hooks The following hooks are defined in .Nm : .Bl -tag -width "config.reloaded" -offset indent .It Fn config.loaded .It Fn config.reloaded .It Fn kernel.loaded .It Fn modules.loaded .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr loader.conf 5 , .Xr loader 8 , .Xr menu.lua 8 , .Xr nextboot 8 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm file was originally written by .An Pedro Souza Aq Mt pedrosouza@FreeBSD.org .
