Globals

Minux uses a couple global variables to keep track of things.

these can be called by either the _G. prefix or without.

eg: print(_G.diskside) - prints the side the disk drive is found on, print(diskside) does the same thing

Base OS variables: - all of these are part of minux-main and always available

_G.modemside - string - the side the modem is found at, all but bottom. if none this string is "[NONE]".

_G.diskside - string - side the disk drive is on, if none this string is "[NONE]". see "/bin/makeboot.sh" for an example.

_G.monitorside - string - side the monitor is on, if none this string is "[NONE]". see "/etc/minux-main/sys/monitorprint.sys" for an example.

_G.printerside - string - side the printer is on, if none this string is "[NONE]".

_G.monitor - string - the monitor, wrapped and ready to go, see "devlib" package for an example.

_G.expect - the "expect" function from base CC loaded and ready to be used.

_G.lookupid - string - last dhcp lookup id result, requires auth-client. | auth-client

_G.lookupowner - string - last dhcp lookup owner result, requires auth-client. | auth-client

AUTH variables:

_G.login - string - current username, only used on networked systems, server always verifies every action, local verify trough file. | minux-main

_G.masterpass - string - current password, only used on networked systems, server always verifies every action, local verify trough file. | minux-main

_G.admin - bool - true or false, sets administrator rights, networked accounts get verified on the server. | minux-main
