Dear Kim Phillips,

u-boot environments, esp. when boards are shared across multiple users, can get pretty large and time consuming to visually parse. The grepenv command this patch adds can be used in lieu of printenv to facilitate searching. grepenv works like printenv but limits its output only to environment strings (variable name and value pairs) that match the user specified substring.
My five cents to this: this addition command should be optional (#ifdef) anyway...
Thanks, but I will not apply thjis.
I'm in the process of resturcturing the whole environment handling. The new implementation will use a hash table for internal storage, so this code would no longer apply then.
Please wait a bit for me to publish the new code, and then try to reimplement it in the new environment.
Will be there a means to mark variables as non-saveable, example if one does a bootp/dhcp and a saveenv afterwards, ip-address, filesize etc. are saved as well, which makes absolutely no sense. Neither does saving the ethaddr when it is created from VPD data :)
