NAME
       svrctl - special server control functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/svrctl.h>

       int svrctl(u32_t request, void *data);

DESCRIPTION
       Svrctl  implements  some	 very MINIX 3 specific system calls that don't
       deserve their own system call number.

       This system call makes it easy to add new ways of setting  and  getting
       system parameters, but at the same time, backwards compatibility is not
       guaranteed.  Read the <sys/svrctl.h>  include  file  to	see  what  the
       structures mentioned below look like.  Most calls are root-only, unless
       specified otherwise.

       The only way to know how to properly use these calls is	to  study  the
       associated server code, or the programs that already use these calls.

       Current requests are:

       MMGETPARAM
	    Request  the  value of one or all boot parameters.	Can be used by
	    non-root.

       MMSETPARAM
	    Set an override for a value of a boot parameter.  Can be  used  by
	    non-root.

RETURN VALUES
       Svrctl returns 0 upon success and -1 upon failure.
