The <code>apps/nshlib</code> sub-directory contains the NuttShell (NSH)
library.
This library can easily to linked to produce a NSH application (See as an example <code>apps/nshlib</code>).
NSH is a simple shell application for NuttX.

Using settings in the configuration file, NSH may be configured to
use either the serial stdin/out or a telnet connection as the console
or BOTH. When NSH is started, you will see the following welcome on
either console:

<b><big><code>nice</code></big>'d Background Commands</b>
NSH executes at the mid-priority (128). Backgrounded commands can
be made to execute at higher or lower priorities using <code>nice</code>:
</p>
<ul><code>
[nice [-d &lt;niceness&gt;&gt;]] &lt;cmd&gt; [&gt; &lt;file&gt;|&gt;&gt; &lt;file&gt;] [&amp;]
</code></ul>
<p>
Where <code>&lt;niceness&gt;</code> is any value between -20 and 19 where lower
(more negative values) correspond to higher priorities.
The default niceness is 10.

An <code>if-then[-else]-fi</code> construct is also supported in order to
support conditional execution of commands. This works from the
command line but is primarily intended for use within NSH scripts
(see the <a href="#cmdsh"><code>sh</code></a> commnd). The syntax is as follows:
</p>

<p>
<b>NSH Start-Up Script</b>.
NSH supports options to provide a start up script for NSH. In general
this capability is enabled with <code>CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC</code>, but has
several other related configuration options as described with the
<a href="#nshconfiguration">NSH-specific configuration settings</a>.
This capability also depends on:
<ul>
<li><code>CONFIG_DISABLE_MOUNTPOINT</code> not set
<li><code>CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS</code> &lt; 4
<li><code>CONFIG_FS_ROMFS</code> enabled
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>Default Start-Up Behavior</b>.
The implementation that is provided is intended to provide great flexibility
for the use of Start-Up files. This paragraph will discuss the general
behavior when all of the configuration options are set to the default
values.
</p>
<p>
In this default case, enabling <code>CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC</code> will cause
NSH to behave as follows at NSH startup time:
<ul>
<li>
NSH will create a read-only RAM disk (a ROM disk), containing a tiny
ROMFS filesystem containing the following:
<ul><pre>
`--init.d/
`-- rcS
</pre></ul>
Where rcS is the NSH start-up script.
</li>
<li>
NSH will then mount the ROMFS filesystem at <code>/etc</code>, resulting in:
<ul><pre>
|--dev/
| `-- ram0
`--etc/
`--init.d/
`-- rcS
</pre></ul>
</li>
<li>
By default, the contents of rcS script are:
<ul><pre>
# Create a RAMDISK and mount it at XXXRDMOUNTPOUNTXXX
mkrd -m 1 -s 512 1024
mkfatfs /dev/ram1
mount -t vfat /dev/ram1 /tmp
</pre></ul>
</li>
<li>
NSH will execute the script at <code>/etc/init.d/rcS</code> at start-up (before the
first NSH prompt. After execution of the script, the root FS will look
like:
<ul><pre>
|--dev/
| |-- ram0
| `-- ram1
|--etc/
| `--init.d/
| `-- rcS
`--tmp/
</pre></ul>
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>Modifying the ROMFS Image</b>.
The contents of the <code>/etc</code> directory are retained in the file <code>apps/nshlib/nsh_romfsimg.h</code> OR, if <code>CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS</code> is defined, <code>include/arch/board/rcs.template</code>).
In order to modify the start-up behavior, there are three things to study:
<ol>
<li>
<b>Configuration Options.</b>
The additional <code>CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC</code> configuration options
discussed with the other <a href="#nshconfiguration">NSH-specific configuration settings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<p>
<b><code>tools/mkromfsimg.sh</code> Script</b>.
The script <code>tools/mkromfsimg.sh</code> creates <code>nsh_romfsimg.h</code>.
It is not automatically executed. If you want to change the
configuration settings associated with creating and mounting
the <code>/tmp</code> directory, then it will be necessary to re-generate
this header file using the <code>tools/mkromfsimg.sh</code> script.
</p>
<p>
The behavior of this script depends upon three things:
<ul>
<li>The configuration settings then installed configuration.
<li>The <code>genromfs</code> tool (available from <a href="http://romfs.sourceforge.net">http://romfs.sourceforge.net</a>).
<li>The file <code>apps/nshlib/rcS.template</code>
(OR, if <code>CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS</code> is defined <code>include/arch/board/rcs.template</code>.
</ul>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<b><code>rcS.template</code></b>.
The file <code>apps/nshlib/rcS.template</code> contains the general form
of the <code>rcS</code> file; configured values are plugged into this
template file to produce the final <code>rcS</code> file.
</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>
<b>NOTE</b>:
<code>apps/nshlib/rcS.template</code> generates the standard, default <code>nsh_romfsimg.h</code> file.
If <code>CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS</code> is defined in the NuttX configuration file, then a custom, board-specific <code>nsh_romfsimg.h</code> file residing in <code>configs/&lt;board&gt;/include</code> will be used.
NOTE when the OS is configured, <code>include/arch/board</code> will be linked to <code>configs/&lt;board&gt;/include</code>.
</p>
<p>
All of the startup-behavior is contained in <code>rcS.template</code>. The
role of <code>mkromfsimg.sh</code> is to (1) apply the specific configuration
settings to <code>rcS.template</code> to create the final <code>rcS</code>, and (2) to
generate the header file <code>nsh_romfsimg.h</code> containg the ROMFS
file system image.

IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
</pre></ul>
<p>
If uIP statistics are enabled (<code>CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS</code>), then
this command will also show the detailed state of uIP.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If both the network interface name and an IP address are supplied as arguments,
then <code>ifconfig</code> will set the address of the ethernet device:

<b>NOTE</b>:
NuttX does not support a FULL POSIX signalling system.
Standard signals like SIGCHLD, SIGINTR, SIGKILL, etc. do not exist in NuttX and sending those signal may not have the result that you expect.
Rather, NuttX supports only what are referred to as POSIX real-time signals.
These signals may be used to communicate with running tasks, may be use to waiting waiting tasks, etc.
But, as an example, <code>kill -9</code> (SIGKILL) will not terminate a task.

<p>
<b>Synopsis</b>.
The 'm ount' command mounts a file system in the NuttX psuedo
filesystem. 'mount' performs a three way associating, binding:
</p>
<ol>
<li><b>File system.</b>
The '-t <code>&lt;fstype&gt;</code>' option identifies the type of
file system that has been formatted on the <code>&lt;block-device&gt;</code>.
As of this writing, <code>vfat</code> is the only supported value for <code>&lt;fstype&gt;</code>
</li>
<li><b>Block Device.</b>
The <code>&lt;block-device&gt;</code> argument is the full or relative
path to a block driver inode in the <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#FileSystemOverview"><i>pseudo</i> filesystem</a>.
By convention, this is a name under the <code>/dev</code> sub-directory.
This <code>&lt;block-device&gt;</code> must have been previously formatted with the same file system
type as specified by <code>&lt;fstype&gt;</code>
</li>
<li><b>Mount Point.</b>
The mount point, <code>&lt;dir-path&gt;</code>, is the location in the
<a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#FileSystemOverview"><i>pseudo</i> filesystem</a> where the mounted volume will appear.
This mount point can only reside in the NuttX <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#FileSystemOverview"><i>pseudo</i> filesystem</a>.
By convention, this mount point is a subdirectory under <code>/mnt</code>.
The mount command will create whatever psuedo directories that may be needed to complete the
full path but the full path must not already exist.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
After the volume has been mounted in the NuttX
<a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#FileSystemOverview"><i>pseudo</i> filesystem</a>,
it may be access in the same way as other objects in thefile system.
</p>
<p><b>Example</b></p>

The availability of the above commands depends upon features that
may or may not be enabled in the NuttX configuration file. The
following <a href="#cmddependencies">table</a> indicates the dependency of each command on NuttX
configuration settings. General configuration settings are discussed
in the <a href="NuttxPortingGuide.html">NuttX Porting Guide.</a>
Configuration settings specific to NSH as discussed at the <a href="#nshconfiguration">bottom</a> of this document.
</p>
<p>
Note that in addition to general NuttX configuation settings, each NSH command can be
individually disabled via the settings in the rightmost column.
All of these settings make the configuration of NSH potentially complex but also allow it to

If <code>CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE</code> is set to <i>y</i>, then a serial

</p>
<p>
Normally, the serial console device is a UART and RS-232 interface.
However, if <code>CONFIG_USBDEV</code> is defined, then a USB serial device may, instead, be used if the one of the following are defined:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_PL2303</code> and <code>CONFIG_PL2303_CONSOLE</code>.
Sets up the Prolifics PL2303 emulation as a console device at <code>/dev/console</code>.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_CDCACM</code> and <code>CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE</code>.
Sets up the CDC/ACM serial device as a console device at <code>/dev/console</code>.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE</code>.
If defined, then the an arbitrary USB device may be used to as the NSH console.
In this case, <code>CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV</code> must be defined to indicate which USB device to use as the console.
The advantage of using a device other that /dev/console is that normal debug output can not use /dev/console while NSH uses <code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV</code>.
<p>
<code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV</code>.
If <code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE</code> is set to 'y', then <code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV</code> must also be set to select the USB device used to support the NSH console.
This should be set to the quoted name of a readable/write-able USB driver such as: <code>CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV="/dev/ttyACM0"</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If there are more than one USB slots, then a USB device minor number may also need to be provided:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_NSH_UBSDEV_MINOR</code>.
The minor device number of the USB device. Default: 0
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If USB tracing is enabled (<code>CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE</code>), then NSH will initialize USB tracing as requested by the following.
Default: Only USB errors are traced.
</p>
<ul>
<li>

<li>

If <code>CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE</code> is set to <i>y</i>, then <code>CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV</code>

This should be set to the quoted name of a readable/write-able character driver such as:
<code>CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV=&quot;/dev/ttyS1&quot;</code>.
This is useful, for example, to separate the NSH command line from the system console
when the system console is used to provide debug output.
Default: <code>stdin</code> and <code>stdout</code> (probably &quot;<code>/dev/console</code>&quot;)
<ul><small>
NOTE: When any other device other than <code>/dev/console</code> is used for a user interface,
(1) linefeeds (<code>\n</code>) will not be expanded to carriage return / linefeeds (<code>\r\n</code>).
You will need to configure your terminal program to account for this.
