💾 cat_nvram(8) — the NVRAM WakeUp girlies' manual 💖

okay so you found the cat_nvram page in the NVRAM WakeUp crew, bestie. sit down, grab a snack 🍓, this one's short and sweet and it's literally just "spill the NVRAM tea onto your screen."

✨ NAME ✨

cat_nvram — dumps the contents of nvram to STDOUT. that's it. that's the job. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cat_nvram upper_method

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

cat_nvram is a lil helper program from the package nvram-wakeup. it dumps the contents of nvram to stdout using direct I/O functions. so it's not doing anything fancy behind your back — it's just reading the thing and yelling it at your terminal. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • upper_method — this one specifies the method which should be used to access the upper part of NVRAM. 🫶
lowkey important: for a list of possible values, go read nvram-wakeup.conf(5). like, actually go read it. the values live there, not here. 💜
