Introduction

The sysrc utility retrieves rc.conf(5) variables from the collection of system rc files and allows processes with appropriate privilege to change values in a safe and effective manner.

Usage

You can edit Rc.conf directly with a editor or with the command sysrc on the CLI. With sysrc you can alter Rc.conf safely.

With the sysrc -a you get information about all non-default settings in /etc/rc.conf.

Options

Option	Description
-a	Dump a list of all non-default configuration variables.
-A	Dump a list of all configuration variables (incl. defaults).
-c	Check only. For querying, return success if all requested vari ables are set (even if NULL), otherwise return error status. For assignments, return success if no changes are required, otherwise failure. If verbose (see "-v") prints a message stating whether variables are set and/or changes are required.
-d	Print a description of the given variable.
-D	Show default value(s) only (this is the same as setting RC_CONFS to NULL or passing `-f' with a NULL file-argument).
-e	Print query results as sh(1) compatible syntax (for example, `var=value'). Ignored if either `-n' or `-F' is specified.
-E	When given `-l' or `-L' to list configuration files, only list those that exist. When changing a setting, prefer to modify existing files.
-f file	Operate on the specified file(s) instead of the files obtained by reading the `rc_conf_files' entry in the RC_DEFAULTS file. This option can be specified multiple times for additional files.
-F	Show only the last rc.conf(5) file each directive is in.
-h	Print a short usage message to stderr and exit.
--help	Print a full usage statement to stderr and exit.
-i	Ignore unknown variables.
-j jail	The jid or name of the jail to operate within (overrides `-R dir'; requires jexec(8)).
-l	List configuration files used at startup on stdout and exit.
-L	List all configuration files including rc.conf.d entries on stdout and exit. Can be combined with `-v' or `-e' to show service names. sysrc exits with success if all named services are installed, failure otherwise.
-n	Show only variable values, not their names.
-N	Show only variable names, not their values.
-q	Quiet. Disable verbose and hide certain errors. When combined with `-L' and one or more name arguments, provide only exit status and no output.
-R dir	Operate within the root directory `dir' rather than `/'.
-s name	If an rc.d script of name exists (in/etc/rc.d or local_startup directories), process its rc.conf.d entries as potential overrides to `rc_conf_files'. See rc.subr(8) for additional information on rc.conf.d. Can be combined with `-l' to list configuration files used by service at startup.
-v	Verbose. Print the pathname of the specific rc.conf(5) file where the directive was found.
--version	Print version information to stdout and exit.
-x	Remove variable(s) from specified file(s).
