49: The
50: .Nm
51: file is a shell script that is sourced by

62: .Pp
63: Most variables are one of two types: enabling variables or flags
1.17 fair 64: variables.

74: have the same name with "_flags" appended, and determine what
75: arguments are passed to the program if it is enabled.
76: .Pp
77: If a variable that
78: .Pa /etc/rc
79: expects to be set is not set, or the value is not one of the allowed
80: values, a warning will be printed.
