NAME

       pibootctl-get - pibootctl manual

SYNOPSIS

          pibootctl get [-h] [--json | --yaml | --shell] setting [setting ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Query  the  status  of  one  or  more  boot configuration settings. If a single setting is
       requested then just that value is output. If  multiple  values  are  requested  then  both
       setting  names and values are output. This applies whether output is in the default, JSON,
       YAML, or shell-friendly styles.

OPTIONS

       setting
              The name(s) of the setting(s) to query; if a single  setting  is  given  its  value
              alone  is  output,  if  multiple  settings  are queried the names and values of the
              settings are output.

       -h, --help
              Show a brief help page for the command.

       --json Use JSON as the output format.

       --yaml Use YAML as the output format.

       --shell
              Use a var=value output format suitable for the shell.

USAGE

       The get command is primarily of use  to  those  wishing  to  build  something  on  top  of
       pibootctl;  for  end  users  wishing  to  query  the current boot configuration the status
       command is of more use. When given a single setting to query the value of that setting  is
       output on its own, in whatever output style is selected:

          $ pibootctl get video.overscan.enabled
          on
          $ pibootctl get --json video.overscan.enabled
          true

       When given multiple settings, names and values of those settings are both output:

          $ pibootctl get serial.enabled serial.baud serial.uart
          +----------------+-------------------------+
          | Name           | Value                   |
          |----------------+-------------------------|
          | serial.baud    | 115200                  |
          | serial.enabled | on                      |
          | serial.uart    | 0 (/dev/ttyAMA0; PL011) |
          +----------------+-------------------------+
          $ pibootctl get --json serial.enabled serial.baud serial.uart
          {"serial.enabled": true, "serial.baud": 115200, "serial.uart": 0}

       Note that wildcards are not permitted with this command, unlike with the status command.
