| Command definition | ||||
| ------------------ | ||||
|  | ||||
| Commands are added to U-Boot by creating a new command structure. | ||||
| This is done by first including command.h, then using the U_BOOT_CMD() macro | ||||
| to fill in a cmd_tbl_t struct. | ||||
| This is done by first including command.h, then using the U_BOOT_CMD() or the | ||||
| U_BOOT_CMD_COMPLETE macro to fill in a cmd_tbl_t struct. | ||||
|  | ||||
| U_BOOT_CMD(name,maxargs,repeatable,command,"usage","help") | ||||
| U_BOOT_CMD(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage", "help") | ||||
| U_BOOT_CMD_COMPLETE(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage, "help", comp) | ||||
|  | ||||
| name:	 is the name of the commad. THIS IS NOT a string. | ||||
| maxargs: the maximum number of arguments this function takes | ||||
| repeatable: either 0 or 1 to indicate if autorepeat is allowed | ||||
| command: Function pointer (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl_s *, int, int, char *[]); | ||||
| usage:	 Short description. This is a string | ||||
| help:	 Long description. This is a string | ||||
| name:		The name of the command. THIS IS NOT a string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| maxargs:	The maximum number of arguments this function takes including | ||||
| 		the command itself. | ||||
|  | ||||
| **** Behind the scene ****** | ||||
| repeatable:	Either 0 or 1 to indicate if autorepeat is allowed. | ||||
|  | ||||
| command:	Pointer to the command function. This is the function that is | ||||
| 		called when the command is issued. | ||||
|  | ||||
| usage:		Short description. This is a string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| help:		Long description. This is a string. The long description is | ||||
| 		only available if CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP is defined. | ||||
|  | ||||
| comp:		Pointer to the completion function. May be NULL. | ||||
| 		This function is called if the user hits the TAB key while | ||||
| 		entering the command arguments to complete the entry. Command | ||||
| 		completion is only available if CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE is defined. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Command function | ||||
| ---------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| The commmand function pointer has to be of type | ||||
| int (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl_s *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, const char *argv[]); | ||||
|  | ||||
| cmdtp:		Table entry describing the command (see above). | ||||
|  | ||||
| flag:		A bitmap which may contain the following bit: | ||||
| 		CMD_FLAG_REPEAT - The last command is repeated. | ||||
| 		CMD_FLAG_BOOTD  - The command is called by the bootd command. | ||||
| 		CMD_FLAG_ENV    - The command is called by the run command. | ||||
|  | ||||
| argc:		Number of arguments including the command. | ||||
|  | ||||
| argv:		Arguments. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Allowable return value are: | ||||
|  | ||||
| CMD_SUCCESS	The command was successfully executed. | ||||
|  | ||||
| CMD_FAILURE	The command failed. | ||||
|  | ||||
| CMD_RET_USAGE	The command was called with invalid parameters. This value | ||||
| 		leads to the display of the usage string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Completion function | ||||
| ------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| The completion function pointer has to be of type | ||||
| int (*complete)(int argc, char *const argv[], char last_char, | ||||
| 		int maxv, char *cmdv[]); | ||||
|  | ||||
| argc:		Number of arguments including the command. | ||||
|  | ||||
| argv:		Arguments. | ||||
|  | ||||
| last_char:	The last character in the command line buffer. | ||||
|  | ||||
| maxv:		Maximum number of possible completions that may be returned by | ||||
| 		the function. | ||||
|  | ||||
| cmdv:		Used to return possible values for the last argument. The last | ||||
| 		possible completion must be followed by NULL. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The function returns the number of possible completions (without the terminating | ||||
| NULL value). | ||||
|  | ||||
| Behind the scene | ||||
| ---------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| The structure created is named with a special prefix and placed by | ||||
| the linker in a special section using the linker lists mechanism | ||||
