USERCONF(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		   USERCONF(4)

NAME
     userconf — in-kernel device configuration manager

     userconf is the in-kernel device configuration manager.  It is used to

     userconf has a more(1)-like functionality; if a number of lines in a com‐
     mand's output exceeds the number defined in the lines variable, then
     userconf displays “-- more --” and waits for a response, which may be one
     of:

	   <return>  one more line.

	   <space>   one more page.

	   q	     abort the current command, and return to the command
		     input mode.

     userconf supports the following commands:

     lines count
	    Specify the number of lines before more.
