.Sh NAME
.Nm bhyve_config
.Nd "bhyve configuration variables"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Xr bhyve 8
uses a hierarchical tree of configuration variables to describe global and
per-device settings.
Internal nodes in this tree do not have a value,
only leaf nodes have values.
This manual describes the configuration variables understood by
.Xr bhyve 8 .
If additional variables are defined,
.Xr bhyve 8
will ignore them and will not emit errors for unknown variables.
However, these additional variables can be referenced by other
variables as described below.
.Sh VARIABLE VALUES
Configuration variable values are stored as strings.
A configuration variable value may refer to one or more other
configuration values by name.
Instances of the pattern
.Sq % Ns Pq Ar var
are replaced by the value of the configuration variable
.Va var .
To avoid unwanted expansion,
.Sq %
characters can be escaped by a leading
.Sq % .
For example,
if a configuration variable
.Va disk
uses the value
.Pa /dev/zvol/bhyve/%(name) ,
then the final value of the
.Va disk
variable will be set to the path of a ZFS volume whose name matches
the name of the virtual machine on the pool
.Pa bhyve .
.Pp
Some configuration variables may be interpreted as a boolean value.
For those variables the following case-insensitive values may be used to
indicate true:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
true
.It
on
.It
yes
.It
1
.El
.Pp
The following values may be used to indicate false:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
false
.It
off
.It
no
.It
0
.El
.Pp
Some configuration variables may be interperted as an integer.
For those variables,
any syntax supported by
.Xr strtol 3
may be used.
