The command "nvram -xp" is used to display the non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) variables and their values in a human-readable format on macOS or Mac OS X systems.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"nvram" stands for non-volatile random-access memory. It is a memory technology that retains its data even when the power is turned off. NVRAM is used to store various system settings and configurations on macOS devices.
-
"-xp" are command-line options or arguments passed to the nvram command. Let's break down each option:
- "-x" is used to display the variables in XML format. This option indicates that the output of the command should be in XML format, making it easier to parse and process programmatically.
- "-p" is used to print or display the values of the NVRAM variables. It instructs the command to show the variables along with their respective values.
By running the "nvram -xp" command in the Terminal, you can see a list of NVRAM variables and their corresponding values on your macOS system.
