examples of how to use this utility.
Command
Target
Description
commit

or if none is given, all configuration files, to
the filesystem. All "uci set", "uci add", "uci
rename" and "uci delete" commands are

flash at once with "uci commit". This is not
needed after editing configuration files with a
text editor, but for scripts, GUIs and other
programs working directly with UCI files.
export

Exports the configuration in a UCI syntax and
does validation.

[<config>]
Imports configuration files in UCI syntax.

file or if none given, all configuration files.

type to the given configuration.

[<config>[.<section>[.<option>]]]
