+.Fl p
+.Nm
+.Oo Fl d Ar name Oc Ar ...
+.Op Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility provides an interface for displaying and changing the system's
+configuration variables contained in EEPROM or NVRAM.
+In the first synopsis form, all available configuration variables and their
+current values are printed.
+In the second form, the variable selected by
+.Ar name
+is either removed or its value is changed to the
+.Ar value
+following by
+.Ql =
+sign.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl d Ar name
+Delete the variable selected by
+.Ar name
+from the EEPROM or NVRAM.
+The
+.Fl d
+flag can be specified multiple times, in which case multiple variables
+will be removed.
+.It Fl p
+Print all available configuration variables and their current values.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Print all available configuration variables and their current values:
+.Pp
+.Dl "nvram -p"
+.Pp
+Remove the variable named
+.Va local-mac-address? :
+.Pp
+.Dl "nvram -d local-mac-address\e?"
+.Pp
+Set the value of the
+.Va local-mac-address?
+variable to
+.Dq Li true :
+.Pp
+.Dl "nvram local-mac-address\e?=true"
+.Pp
+Note that the
+.Ql \e
+in the above examples is used to keep the shell from interpreting the
+.Ql \&? .
+.Pp
+Remove variables named
+.Va foo
+and
+.Va bar
+and set variable named
+.Va baz
+to
+.Dq Li 100 :
+.Pp
+.Dl "nvram -d foo -d bar baz=100"
