That will be highly dependent on your hal file, specifically on how many modules you have loaded, and how many functions/pins they each have. So I can't begin to predict what you will see in the menu's. Each module will have a name, and each will have functions and pins driven by signals, or driving signals as the logic is hooked up by hal, the Hardware Abstraction Layer. A question on a specific module and its "named pins" can often be deduced from a "man 9 module_name". A signal is usually named as the next option to the right of a "net" statement. Which means it could be named anything you want. The third argument in a "net" line of the hal file is the source module.#.pin#, UNLESS that signal name has been used before, in which case the third and succeeding arguments are all places where this signal is to be delivered. That way you can feed a given signal to more places than you can nicely type on one line. There is more of course, but this needs to be digested, so you can build on that.
