28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm bhyve_config
31.Nd "bhyve configuration variables"
32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33.Xr bhyve 8
34uses a hierarchical tree of configuration variables to describe global and
35per-device settings.
36Internal nodes in this tree do not have a value,
37only leaf nodes have values.
38This manual describes the configuration variables understood by
39.Xr bhyve 8 .
40If additional variables are defined,
41.Xr bhyve 8
42will ignore them and will not emit errors for unknown variables.
43However, these additional variables can be referenced by other
44variables as described below.
45.Sh VARIABLE VALUES
46Configuration variable values are stored as strings.
47A configuration variable value may refer to one or more other
48configuration values by name.
49Instances of the pattern
50.Sq % Ns Pq Ar var
51are replaced by the value of the configuration variable
52.Va var .
53To avoid unwanted expansion,
54.Sq %
55characters can be escaped by a leading
56.Sq % .
57For example,
58if a configuration variable
59.Va disk
60uses the value
61.Pa /dev/zvol/bhyve/%(name) ,
62then the final value of the
63.Va disk
64variable will be set to the path of a ZFS volume whose name matches
65the name of the virtual machine on the pool
66.Pa bhyve .
67.Pp
68Some configuration variables may be interpreted as a boolean value.
69For those variables the following case-insensitive values may be used to
70indicate true:
71.Pp
72.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
73.It
74true
75.It
76on
77.It
78yes
79.It
801
81.El
82.Pp
83The following values may be used to indicate false:
84.Pp
85.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
86.It
87false
88.It
89off
90.It
91no
92.It
930
94.El
95.Pp
96Some configuration variables may be interperted as an integer.
97For those variables,
98any syntax supported by
99.Xr strtol 3
100may be used.
