Intel MPCMM0001 manual Numeric Constraints, Tags, Control Commands, Ifset

FRU Update Configuration File

•As the configuration file is parsed, on each line the correct number of quotes is checked and when incorrect, flagged as an error prior to checking for the correct number of arguments.

•White space is defined as space, tab, and Carriage Return-Line Feed characters (CR-LF).

27.4Numeric Constraints

•All numbers are considered decimal unless denoted by the hexidecimal prefix string.

•If as number starts with “0x”, then number is interpreted as hexidecimal.

27.5Tags

Tags are a means for the configuration file to control the path for users of the file. Tags are a Boolean (true / false) value represented by a string. When the tag is set, a string for that tag is added to a utility wide (master) list of set tags. When a tag is cleared, all tags with that string are cleared from the master list of tags, thus making the tag false. Only tags present in the master list are true, all other tags are false. Tags are only set, cleared, and checked during the processing phase of the configuration file. The order in which the tags are set, cleared, and checked is very important. A tag that is set after it is checked by a statement will be false for the statement.

27.6Control Commands

These commands are used to control the execution path of the configuration file. This is done with the setting, clearing, and checking of tags. The control commands are the following: IFSET, ELSE,

ENDIF, SET, CLEAR, CFGNAME, ERRORLEVEL, PROBE, FOUND, PROMPT, YES, NO, MENUTITLE, MENU, and MENUPROMPT. The commands PROMPT, YES, NO, MENUTITLE, MENU, and MENUPROMPT are covered in Section 27.6, “Control Commands” on page 228, and PROBE and FOUND are covered in Section 27.7, “Probing Commands” on page 230.

27.6.1IFSET

The IFSET statement will take an unlimited number of tags for its arguments, with an implicit AND between each argument. Each IFSET statement must have a matching ENDIF statement, and if desired, can have one ELSE statement between the two. If the tags required by the IFSET command are set during the processing of the configuration file, the commands following the IFSET command and up to the first ELSE or ENDIF command will be processed and executed. If the tags are not set, the commands up to the next ELSE or ENDIF command are skipped.

Example:

SET TRUE

IFSET “TRUE”

//Do this stuff

ELSE

//Skip this stuff

ENDIF
