💖 GRUB-EDITENV 💖

okay bestie so real talk — this is the grub-editenv manual page, and it's literally the tool you use to edit the GRUB environment block. That's it, that's the job, and it does it gorgeously. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

grub-editenv [OPTION...] FILENAME COMMAND

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's a tool to edit the environment block. Very demure, very mindful, very environment block. 🫶

🌸 Commands 🌸

  • create — makes you a blank environment block file. fresh start energy ✨
  • incr [NAME ...] — bumps up the value of integer variables. numbers go up, slay 📈
  • list — shows you the current variables. the receipts, if you will 💅
  • set [NAME=VALUE ...] — sets variables. name equals value, iconic
  • unset [NAME ...] — deletes variables. not me gently removing them 😭

🌈 Options 🌈

  • -?, --help — gives you this help list. a little treat 🍓
  • --usage — gives you a short usage message. the TL;DR version, no cap
  • -v, --verbose — prints verbose messages. it's giving chatty 👑
  • -V, --version — prints program version. iykyk

If FILENAME is -, the default value /boot/grub2/grubenv is used. so if you're feeling lazy, the dash has your back 💜

⚠️ okay so listen — there is no delete command. none. zero. if you want to delete the whole environment block, you use rm /boot/grub2/grubenv. periodt. 💀
