27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm color.4th
30.Nd loader color-detection boot module
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The file that goes by the name of
33.Nm
34is a set of commands designed to simplify color logic.
35The commands of
36.Nm
37by themselves are not enough for most uses.
38Please refer to the
39examples below for the most common situations, and to
40.Xr loader 7
41for additional commands.
42.Pp
43Before using any of the commands provided in
44.Nm ,
45it must be included
46through the command:
47.Pp
48.Dl include color.4th
49.Pp
50This line is present in
51.Pa /boot/forth/loader.4th
52file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
53.Pp
54The commands provided by it are:
55.Pp
56.Bl -tag -width disable-module_module -compact -offset indent
57.It Ic loader_color?
58Returns FALSE if the
59.Ic loader_color
60environment variable is set to
61.Dq NO
62(case-insensitive) or
63.Dq 0 .
64Otherwise returns TRUE
65.Pq unless booting serial .
66.El
67.Pp
68The environment variables that effect its behavior are:
69.Bl -tag -width bootfile -offset indent
70.It Va loader_color
71If set to
72.Dq NO
73(case-insensitive) or
74.Dq 0 ,
75causes
76.Ic loader_color?
77to return FALSE, indicating to many modules that color should not be used.
78.El
79.Sh FILES
