General Commands ################ Introduction ============ The RTEMS shell has the following general commands: - ``help`` - Print command help - ``alias`` - Add alias for an existing command - ``cmdls`` - List commands - ``cmdchown`` - Change user or owner of commands - ``cmdchmod`` - Change mode of commands - ``date`` - Print or set current date and time - ``echo`` - Produce message in a shell script - ``sleep`` - Delay for a specified amount of time - ``id`` - show uid gid euid and egid - ``tty`` - show ttyname - ``whoami`` - print effective user id - ``getenv`` - print environment variable - ``setenv`` - set environment variable - ``unsetenv`` - unset environment variable - ``time`` - time command execution - ``logoff`` - logoff from the system - ``rtc`` - RTC driver configuration - ``exit`` - alias for logoff command Commands ======== This section details the General Commands available. A subsection is dedicated to each of the commands and describes the behavior and configuration of that command as well as providing an example usage. help - Print command help ------------------------- .. index:: help **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell help misc **DESCRIPTION:** This command prints the command help. Help without arguments prints a list of topics and help with a topic prints the help for that topic. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0. **NOTES:** The help print will break the output up based on the environment variable SHELL_LINES. If this environment variable is not set the default is 16 lines. If set the number of lines is set to that the value. If the shell lines is set 0 there will be no break. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``alias``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] $ help help: ('r' repeat last cmd - 'e' edit last cmd) TOPIC? The topics are mem, misc, files, help, rtems, network, monitor SHLL [/] $ help misc help: list for the topic 'misc' alias - alias old new time - time command [arguments...] joel - joel [args] SCRIPT date - date [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] echo - echo [args] sleep - sleep seconds [nanoseconds] id - show uid, gid, euid, and egid tty - show ttyname whoami - show current user logoff - logoff from the system setenv - setenv [var] [string] getenv - getenv [var] unsetenv - unsetenv [var] umask - umask [new_umask] Press any key to continue... rtc - real time clock read and set SHLL [/] $ setenv SHELL_ENV 0 SHLL [/] $ help misc help: list for the topic 'misc' alias - alias old new time - time command [arguments...] joel - joel [args] SCRIPT date - date [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] echo - echo [args] sleep - sleep seconds [nanoseconds] id - show uid, gid, euid, and egid tty - show ttyname whoami - show current user logoff - logoff from the system setenv - setenv [var] [string] getenv - getenv [var] unsetenv - unsetenv [var] umask - umask [new_umask] rtc - real time clock read and set **CONFIGURATION:** This command has no configuration. alias - add alias for an existing command ----------------------------------------- .. index:: alias **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell alias oldCommand newCommand **DESCRIPTION:** This command adds an alternate name for an existing command to the command set. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** None. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``alias``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] $ me shell:me command not found SHLL [/] $ alias whoami me SHLL [/] $ me rtems SHLL [/] $ whoami rtems **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_ALIAS .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_ALIAS This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_ALIAS`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_ALIAS`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** .. index:: rtems_shell_rtems_main_alias The ``alias`` is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype: .. code:: c int rtems_shell_rtems_main_alias( int argc, char **argv ); The configuration structure for the ``alias`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_ALIAS_Command; cmdls - List commands --------------------- .. index:: cmdls **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell cmdls COMMAND... **DESCRIPTION:** This command lists the visible commands of the command set. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** The current user must have read permission to list a command. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``cmdls``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] # cmdls help shutdown r-xr-xr-x 0 0 help r-x------ 0 0 shutdown **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CMDLS .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CMDLS This command is included in the default shell command set.

When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CMDCHOWN`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CMDCHOWN`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** The configuration structure for the ``cmdchown`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_CMDCHOWN_Command; cmdchmod - Change mode of commands ---------------------------------- .. index:: cmdchmod **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell cmdchmod OCTAL-MODE COMMAND... **DESCRIPTION:** This command changes the mode of a command. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** The current user must have an UID of zero or be the command owner to change the mode. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``cmdchmod``: .. code:: shell [/] # cmdls help r-xr-xr-x 0 0 help [/] # cmdchmod 544 help [/] # cmdls help r-xr--r-- 0 0 help **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CMDCHMOD .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CMDCHMOD This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CMDCHMOD`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CMDCHMOD`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** The configuration structure for the ``cmdchmod`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_CMDCHMOD_Command; date - print or set current date and time ----------------------------------------- .. index:: date **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell date date DATE TIME **DESCRIPTION:** This command operates one of two modes. When invoked with no arguments, it prints the current date and time. When invoked with both ``date`` and ``time`` arguments, it sets the current time. The ``date`` is specified in ``YYYY-MM-DD`` format. The ``time`` is specified in ``HH:MM:SS`` format. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** None. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``date``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] $ date Fri Jan 1 00:00:09 1988 SHLL [/] $ date 2008-02-29 06:45:32 SHLL [/] $ date Fri Feb 29 06:45:35 2008 **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_DATE .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_DATE This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_DATE`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_DATE`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** .. index:: rtems_shell_rtems_main_date The ``date`` is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype: .. code:: c int rtems_shell_rtems_main_date( int argc, char **argv ); The configuration structure for the ``date`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_DATE_Command; echo - produce message in a shell script ---------------------------------------- .. index:: echo **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell echo [-n | -e] args ... **DESCRIPTION:** Echo prints its arguments on the standard output, separated by spaces. Unless the *-n* option is present, a newline is output following the arguments. The *-e* option causes echo to treat the escape sequences specially, as described in the following paragraph. The *-e* option is the default, and is provided solely for compatibility with other systems. Only one of the options *-n* and *-e* may be given. If any of the following sequences of characters is encountered during output, the sequence is not output. Instead, the specified action is performed: *\\b* A backspace character is output. *\\c* Subsequent output is suppressed. This is normally used at the end of the last argument to suppress the trailing newline that echo would otherwise output. *\\f* Output a form feed. *\\n* Output a newline character. *\\r* Output a carriage return. *\\t* Output a (horizontal) tab character. *\\v* Output a vertical tab. *\\0digits* Output the character whose value is given by zero to three digits. If there are zero digits, a nul character is output. *\\\\* Output a backslash. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** The octal character escape mechanism (\\0digits) differs from the C language mechanism. There is no way to force ``echo`` to treat its arguments literally, rather than interpreting them as options and escape sequences. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``echo``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] $ echo a b c a b c SHLL [/] $ echo **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_ECHO .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_ECHO This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_ECHO`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_ECHO`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** .. index:: rtems_shell_rtems_main_echo The ``echo`` is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype: .. code:: c int rtems_shell_rtems_main_echo( int argc, char **argv ); The configuration structure for the ``echo`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_ECHO_Command; **ORIGIN:** The implementation and portions of the documentation for this command are from NetBSD 4.0. sleep - delay for a specified amount of time -------------------------------------------- .. index:: sleep **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell sleep seconds sleep seconds nanoseconds **DESCRIPTION:** This command causes the task executing the shell to block for the specified number of ``seconds`` and ``nanoseconds``. **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** This command is implemented using the ``nanosleep()`` method. The command line interface is similar to the ``sleep`` command found on POSIX systems but the addition of the ``nanoseconds`` parameter allows fine grained delays in shell scripts without adding another command such as ``usleep``. **EXAMPLES:** The following is an example of how to use ``sleep``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] $ sleep 10 SHLL [/] $ sleep 0 5000000 It is not clear from the above but there is a ten second pause after executing the first command before the prompt is printed. The second command completes very quickly from a human perspective and there is no noticeable delay in the prompt being printed. **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_SLEEP .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_SLEEP This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_SLEEP`` to have this command included. This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_SLEEP`` when all shell commands have been configured. **PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:** .. index:: rtems_shell_rtems_main_sleep The ``sleep`` is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype: .. code:: c int rtems_shell_rtems_main_sleep( int argc, char **argv ); The configuration structure for the ``sleep`` has the following prototype: .. code:: c extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_SLEEP_Command; id - show uid gid euid and egid ------------------------------- .. index:: id **SYNOPSYS:** .. code:: shell id **DESCRIPTION:** This command prints the user identity. This includes the user id (uid), group id (gid), effective user id (euid), and effective group id (egid). **EXIT STATUS:** This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered. **NOTES:** Remember there is only one POSIX process in a single processor RTEMS application. Each thread may have its own user identity and that identity is used by the filesystem to enforce permissions. **EXAMPLES:** The first example of the ``id`` command is from a session logged in as the normal user ``rtems``: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] # id uid=1(rtems),gid=1(rtems),euid=1(rtems),egid=1(rtems) The second example of the ``id`` command is from a session logged in as the ``root`` user: .. code:: shell SHLL [/] # id uid=0(root),gid=0(root),euid=0(root),egid=0(root) **CONFIGURATION:** .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_ID .. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_ID This command is included in the default shell command set.
