kvm_mkdb8
Create kernel database
Usage
kvm_mkdb [-v]
[-o
directory]
[file]
Overview
kvm_mkdb creates a database in /var/db containing information about the specified file. If no file is specified, /bsd 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.
The options are as follows:
-
-o directory -
Allows the specification of a directory other than /var/db for the database to be created in.
-
-v -
Yields slightly more verbose operation.
