nvram: [d]elete a firmware variable.
$ sudo nvram -d ${name}
try on your machine

The command "sudo nvram -d ${name}" is used to delete a specific NVRAM variable in a macOS system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": This is a command that allows you to execute the following command as a superuser or root user, providing administrative privileges. It prompts you to enter your password before executing the command.
  • "nvram": This is a command-line utility in macOS used to manipulate or access the non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) variables, which are persistent settings stored by the system.
  • "-d": This option is used to delete a specific NVRAM variable.
  • "${name}": This is a placeholder representing the name of the NVRAM variable that you want to delete. You would replace "${name}" with the actual name of the variable when executing the command.

In summary, the command allows you to delete a specific NVRAM variable by providing its name as an argument after the "-d" option.
