libubootenv - Library to access U-Boot environment
==================================================
[](https://source.denx.de/swupdate/libubootenv/-/commits/master)
[](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/21387)
[](https://api.reuse.software/info/github.com/sbabic/libubootenv)
libubootenv is a library that provides a hardware independent way to access
to U-Boot environment. U-Boot has its default environment compiled board-dependently
and this means that tools to access the environment are also board specific, too.
Source Code: https://github.com/sbabic/libubootenv
Documentation (doxygen): https://sbabic.github.io/libubootenv
Replacement old tools
---------------------
Part of the library are the replacement of the "fw_printenv / fw_setenv" tools that
can be used with any board - they accept as parameter a file as initial environment if none is found
on the persistent storage. The syntax for the data configuration file is the same as the one
described in the U-Boot project whilst the syntax of the script file is a subset of the original one.
::
Usage fw_printenv [OPTION]
-h, : print this help
-c, --config <filename> : configuration file (by default: /etc/fw_env.config)
-f, --defenv <filename> : default environment if no one found (by default: /etc/u-boot-initial-env)
-V, : print version and exit
-n, --no-header : do not print variable name
Usage fw_setenv [OPTION]
-h, : print this help
-c, --config <filename> : configuration file (by default: /etc/fw_env.config)
-f, --defenv <filename> : default environment if no one found (by default: /etc/u-boot-initial-env)
-V, : print version and exit
-s, --script <filename> : read variables to be set from a script
Script Syntax:
key=value
lines starting with '#' are treated as comment
lines without '=' are ignored
Script Example:
netdev=eth0
kernel_addr=400000
foo=empty empty empty empty empty empty
bar
