DESCRIPTION
 The 
systm Lua binding provides access to general kernel functionality like printing messages on the console. The 
systm.aprint functions are meant to be using during kernel autoconfiguration.
- 
systm.print(msg)
- 
Send msg to the console.
 
- 
systm.print_nolog(msg)
- 
The systm.print_nolog() function is identical to the systm.print() function, except is does not send msg to the system log.
 
- 
systm.uprint(msg)
- 
Send msg to the current process's controlling tty.
 
- 
systm.aprint_normal(msg)
- 
Send msg to the console unless AB_QUIET is set. Always sends to the log.
 
- 
systm.aprint_naive(msg)
- 
Send msg to the console only if AB_QUIET is set. Never sends to the log.
 
- 
systm.aprint_verbose(msg)
- 
Send msg to the console only if AB_VERBOSE is set. Always sends to the log.
 
- 
systm.aprint_debug(msg)
- 
Send msg to the console and the log only if AB_DEBUG is set.
 
- 
systm.aprint_error(msg)
- 
Like systm.aprint_normal(), but also keeps track of the number of times called. This allows a subsystem to report the number of errors that occurred during a quiet or silent initialization phase.
 
- 
count = systm.aprint_get_error_count()
- 
The systm.aprint_get_error_count() function reports the number of errors and resets the counter to 0.
 
- 
systm.panic(msg)
- 
The systm.panic() function terminates the NetBSD system. The message msg is printed to the console and saved in the variable panicstr for later retrieval via core dump inspection. A newline character is added at the end automatically.
