KVM_MKDB(8) BSD System Manager's Manual KVM_MKDB(8)
kvm_mkdb - create kernel database
kvm_mkdb [-v] [-o directory] [file]
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 informa-
tion 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.
/bsd
/var/db/kvm_bsd.db
kvm_nlist(3)
The kvm_mkdb utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
