-Command Line Parsing:

-There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:

-Old, simple command line parser:
---------------------------------
-
-- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
-- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
-- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
-- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
- for example:
- setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
-- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
- setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

-Hush shell:
------------
-
-- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
- if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
- until...do...done, ...
-- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
- commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
- "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
- command
-
-General rules:
---------------
-
-(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
- command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
- one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
- executed anyway.
-
-(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
- calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
- command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
- variables are not executed.

+Command-line Parsing
+====================
+
+The command line is available in U-Boot proper, enabled by CONFIG_CMDLINE which
+is on by default. It is not enabled in SPL.
+
+There are two different command-line parsers available with U-Boot:
+the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
+
+Simple command-line parser
+--------------------------
+
+This takes very little code space and offers only basic features:
+
+- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
+- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
+- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
+- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
+ for example::
+
+ setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
+
+- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example::
+
+ setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
+
+Hush shell
+----------
+
+This is similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like:
+
+- `if`... `then` ... `else`... `fi`
+- `for`... `do` ... `done`
+- `while` ... `do` ... `done`
+- `until` ... `do` ... `done`
+
+Hush supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
+commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
+`name=value`); only environment variables can be used with the "run" command
+
+The Hush shell is enabled with `CONFIG_HUSH_PARSER`.
+
+General rules
+-------------
+
+#. If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
+ command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
+ one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
+ executed anyway.
+
+#. If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
+ calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
+ command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
+ variables are not executed.
