make them "externally" available:
Previous Current Purpose
-------- ------- -------
_arg rc_arg Argument to command, after fast/force
processing performed (and prefix
removed)
_flags rc_flags Flags to start the default command
with. Defaults to ${name}_flags,
unless overridden by $flags from the
environment. This variable may be
changed by the precmd method.
_pid rc_pid PID of command (if appropriate).
_rc_run_fast rc_fast Not empty is "fast" was provided.
_rc_run_force rc_force Not empty is "force" was provided.
- Use rc_flags instead of _flags or ${name}_flags in various rc.d scripts,
so that $flags from the environment overrides ${name}_flags from rc.conf(5).
Fixes [bin/15800].

# /etc/rc.d/ipfs stop
/etc/rc.d/ipfs: WARNING: $ipfs is not set properly.
This horrible change is needed because of the "shutdown" keyword.
keep state to be locked (modification prevented) and then saved to disk,
allowing for the system to experience a reboot, followed by the restoration
of that information, resulting in connections not being interrupted.
To activate this feature, set ipfs=YES in /etc/rc.conf
