NAME
nash - script interpretor to interpret linuxrc images
SYNOPSIS
nash [--quiet] [--force] script
DESCRIPTION
nash is a very simple script interpretor designed to be as small as
possible. It is primarily designed to run simple linuxrc scripts on an initrd
image. Arguments to commands may be enclosed in either single or double
quotes to allow spaces to be included in the arguments. Spaces outside of
quotations always delineate arguments, and so backslash escaping is supported.
Additionally, if nash is invoked as modprobe, it will immediately
exit with a return code of zero. This is to allow initrd's to prevent some
extraneous kernel error messages during startup.
There are two types of commands, built in and external. External commands
are run from the filesystem via execve(). If commands names are given without
a path, nash will search it's builtin PATH, which is /usr/bin, /bin,
/sbin, /usr/sbin.
Currently, nash supports the following built in commands.
access -[r][w][x][f] path
Tells whether the current user has sufficient permissions to read, write, or
execture path, or if the file exists (see access(2) for more
information).
echo [item]* [> filename]
Echos the text strings given to a file, with a space in between each
item. The output may be optionally redirected to a file.
exec<command>
The command given is execed, overlaying the nash process.
find dir -name name
Display the path to files named name in or below directory dir.
This is a very limited implementation of find(1).
losetup /dev/loopdevfile
Binds file to the loopback device /dev/loopdev. See
losetup(8) for information on loopback devices.
mkdevicespath
Creates device files for all of the block devices listed in
/proc/partitions in the directory specfied by path.
mkdir[-p]path
Creates the directory path. If -p is specified, this command
will not complain if the directory exists. Note this is a subset of the
standard mkdir-p behavior.
mknodpath[c|b]majorminor
Creates a device inode for path. This is identical to mkdev(1)
which the exceptions that it will not create named pipes and if the directories
in path do not exist they will be automatically created.
mkdmnod
Creates a device inode for the device mapper control inode as
/dev/mapper/control. If it already exists with the correct
major/minor, it will not be recreated.
mkrootdev path
Makes path a block inode for the device which should be mounted
as root. To determine this device nash uses
the device suggested by the root= kernel command line argument (if
root=LABEL is used devices are probed to find one with that label). If
no root= argument is available, /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev provides
the device number.
mount [--ro] -o opts -t typedevicemntpoint
Mounts a filesystem. It does not support NFS, and it must be used in
the form given above (arguments must go first). If device is of the form
LABEL=foo the devices listed in /fB/proc/partitions will
be searched, and the first device with a volume label of foo will
be mounted. Normal mount(2) options are supported, and --ro will
mount the filesystem read only for compatibility with older versions of nash.
The defaults mount option is silently ignored.
pivot_root newrootpatholdrootpath
Makes the filesystem mounted at newrootpath the new root filesystem,
and mounts the current root filesystem as oldrootpath.
readlink path
Displays the value of the symbolic link path.
raidautorun mddevice
Runs raid autodetection on all raid-typed partitions. mddevice must
be a raid device (any will do).
setquiet
Cause any later echos in this script to not be displayed.
showlabels
Display a table of devices, their filesystem labels, and their uuids.
sleep num
Sleep for num seconds
switchroot newrootpath
Makes the filesystem mounted at newrootpath the new root
filesystem by moving the mountpoint. This will only work in 2.6 or
later kernels.
umount path
Unmounts the filesystem mounted at path.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 is the last command succeeded or 1 if it failed.
OPTIONS
--force
Allows force really execute the script, even though nash doesn't
appear to be running from an initrd image.
BUGS
Probably many. nash is not a shell, and it shouldn't be thought of
as one. It isn't entirely different from a shell, but that's mostly by
accident.
