NAME

       pibootctl-set - pibootctl manual

SYNOPSIS

          pibootctl set [-h] [--no-backup] [--all | --this-model | --this-serial]
                        [--json] [--yaml] [--shell]
                        [name=[value] [name=[value] ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       Change  the  value  of  one  or  more boot configuration settings. To reset the value of a
       setting to its default, simply omit the new value.

OPTIONS

       name=[value]
              Specify one or more settings to change on the command line; to reset a  setting  to
              its default omit the value.

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

       --no-backup
              Don't  take  an  automatic  backup of the current boot configuration if one doesn't
              exist.

       --all  Set the specified settings on all Pis this SD  card  is  used  with.  This  is  the
              default context.

       --this-model
              Set the specified settings for this model of Pi only.

       --this-serial
              Set the specified settings for this Pi's serial number only.

       --json Use JSON as the input format.

       --yaml Use YAML as the input format.

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

USAGE

       The set command can be used at the command line to update the boot configuration:

          $ sudo pibootctl set video.overscan.enabled=off
          Backed up current configuration in backup-20200309-230959

       Note  that,  if  no  backup  of  the  current  boot  configuration  exists,  a  backup  is
       automatically taken (unless --no-backup is specified). Multiple settings can be changed at
       once, and settings can be reset to their default value by omitting the new value after the
       "=" sign:

          $ sudo pibootctl set --no-backup serial.enabled=on serial.uart=

       By default, settings are written into an "[all]" section in config.txt meaning  that  they
       will apply everywhere the SD card is moved. However, you can opt to make settings specific
       to the current model of Pi, or even the current Pi's serial number:

          $ sudo pibootctl set --this-serial camera.enabled=on gpu.mem=128

       In this case an appropriate section like "[0x123456789]" will be added  and  the  settings
       written under there.

       For   those  wishing  to  build  an  interface  on  top  of  pibootctl,  JSON,  YAML,  and
       shell-friendly formats can also be used to feed new values to the set command:

          $ cat << EOF | sudo pibootctl set --json --no-backup
          {"serial.enabled": true, "serial.uart": null}
          EOF
