--- Comment #3 from Sulev-Madis Silber <bugs-freebsd-org916@ketas.si.pri.ee> ---
sure, but i wasn't sure about naming

should it be 8.3?

maybe loader.prv / loader.nxt files?

also was next file ever used, apart from if user patches it in manually in
their build

also i don't fully get what first argument of read_loader_env() is, is it just
a name, not used for anything else?

thats's why i was not even sure how to do this. let alone documenting it

but i know if anything enters the tree, that's how it stays forever. people
read it, learn to use it, and you can't take it back. well, easily that is.
everyone would be pissed

hence behaviour has no documentation because i have no idea what behaviour
would end up like in the first place

not the first time a feature would be source-only-documented. eg
hw.userspace_allow_phys_counter

so yeah you're right, documention is good

to be honest, i was digging around a lot before i even found that
/efi/freebsd/loader.env is a thing at all

i also have

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283457

which also is kind of booty, still have no idea how to do that, nevermind how
to document
