<p>The netmask may also be expressed using IPv4 CIDR or IPv6 slash
notation. In that case, the netmask need not be provided.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>nsh&gt; addroute 11.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>NuttX does not support a FULL POSIX signaling system. A
few standard signal names like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGCHLD</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGUSR1</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGUSR2</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGALRM</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGPOLL</span></code> exist in the system.
However, they do not have the default actions that you might
expect. Rather, NuttX supports only what are referred to as POSIX
real-time signals. These signals may be used to communicate with
running tasks, may be use to waiting waiting tasks, etc.</p>
<p>If the configuration option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CONFIG_SIG_DEFAULT</span></code> is enabled,
then default actions for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGINT</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGKILL</span></code> signals
(only) will be supported. In that case, as an example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kill</span> <span class="pre">-9</span></code>
(SIGKILL) will, indeed, terminate a task. Caution should be
exercised, however, because this is likely to cause memory leaks
and to strand resource since there is insufficient clean-up in
certain build configurations.</p>

select either the FAT12 or FAT16 format. For historical reasons,
if you want the FAT32 format, it must be explicitly specified on
the command line.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-r</span></code> option may be specified to select the the number of
entries in the root directory for FAT12 and FAT16 file systems.
Typical values for small volumes would be 112 or 224; 512 should
be used for large volumes, such as hard disks or very large SD
cards. The default is 512 entries in all cases.</p>
<p>The reported number of root directory entries used with FAT32 is
zero because the FAT32 root directory is a cluster chain.</p>

<blockquote>
<div><ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p><strong>File System.</strong> The ‘-t <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;fstype&gt;</span></code>’ option identifies the

supported value for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;fstype&gt;</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><strong>Block Device.</strong> The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;block-device&gt;</span></code> argument is the full

<li><p><strong>Mount Point.</strong> The mount point, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;dir-path&gt;</span></code>, is the
location in the <a class="reference internal" href="../../reference/user/10_filesystem.html#file-system-overview"><span class="std std-ref">pseudo file system</span></a>
where the mounted volume will appear. This mount point can only
reside in the NuttX

convention, this mount point is a subdirectory under <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt</span></code>.

not already exist.</p></li>

<p>After the volume has been mounted in the NuttX
<a class="reference internal" href="../../reference/user/10_filesystem.html#file-system-overview"><span class="std std-ref">pseudo file system</span></a>, it may be
access in the same way as other objects in the file system.</p>
<p><strong>Examples</strong>:</p>

<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>telnetd
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>. Start the Telnet daemon if it is not already running.</p>
<p>The Telnet daemon may be started either programmatically by calling
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nsh_telnetstart()</span></code> or it may be started from the NSH command line

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CONFIG_NSH_NETLOCAL</span></code> is selected. In that case, the network is not
enabled at initialization but rather must be enabled from the NSH

<p><strong>Command Syntax</strong>:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>time &quot;&lt;command&gt;&quot;
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>. Perform command timing. This command will execute the
following &lt;command&gt; string and then show how much time was required to
execute the command. Time is shown with a resolution of 100 microseconds
which may be beyond the resolution of many configurations. Note that the
&lt;command&gt; must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains spaces or
other delimiters.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong>:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>nsh&gt; time &quot;sleep 2&quot;
2.0100 sec
nsh&gt;
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The additional 10 milliseconds in this example is due to the way that
the sleep command works: It always waits one system clock tick longer
than requested and this test setup used a 10 millisecond periodic system
timer. Sources of error could include various quantization errors,
competing CPU usage, and the additional overhead of the time command
execution itself which is included in the total.</p>
<p>The reported time is the elapsed time from starting of the command to
completion of the command. This elapsed time may not necessarily be just
the processing time for the command. It may included interrupt level
processing, for example. In a busy system, command processing could be
delayed if preempted by other, higher priority threads competing for
CPU time. So the reported time includes all CPU processing from the
start of the command to its finish possibly including unrelated
processing time during that interval.</p>
<p>Notice that:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>nsh&gt; time &quot;sleep 2 &amp;&quot;
sleep [3:100]
0.0000 sec
nsh&gt;
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Since the sleep command is executed in background, the sleep command
completes almost immediately. As opposed to the following where the time
command is run in background with the sleep command:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>nsh&gt; time &quot;sleep 2&quot; &amp;

<h2>Built-In Commands<a class="headerlink" href="#built-in-commands" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>In addition to the commands that are part of NSH listed in the previous
section above, there can be additional, external <em>built-in</em> applications
that can be added to NSH. These are separately excecuble programs but
will appear much like the commands that are a part of NSH. The primary
difference from the user’s perspective is that help information about
the built-in applications is not available directly from NSH. Rather,
you will need to execute the application with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-h</span></code> option to get
help about using the built-in applications.</p>
<p>There are several built-in applications in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apps/</span></code> repository. No
attempt is made here to enumerate all of them. But a few of the more
common, useful built-in applications are listed below.</p>
