NAME
kvm_mkdb —
create kernel database
SYNOPSIS
kvm_mkdb |
[file] |
DESCRIPTION
Kvm_mkdb creates a database in
/var/db containing information about the specified
file. If no file is specified, /vmunix is used by
default. The file is named ``kvm_filename.db'', where ``filename'' is the name
of the file read. Various library routines consult this database. The only
information currently stored is the kernel namelist, which is used by the
kvm_nlist(3) function, however, in the future the database may contain
other static information about the current system.
FILES
- /vmunix
- /var/db/kvm_vmunix.db
