|
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.
|
name: The name of the command. 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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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).
