KVM_MKDB(8) BSD System Manager's Manual KVM_MKDB(8)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, /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 in-
formation 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
/bsd
/var/db/kvm_bsd.db
