KVM_MKDB(8)               BSD System Manager's Manual              KVM_MKDB(8)

NAME
     kvmmkdb - create kernel database

SYNOPSIS
     kvmmkdb [file [name]]

DESCRIPTION
     Kvmmkdb creates a database in /var/run containing information about /bsd
     and perhaps other fairly static information about the current system.
     Various library routines consult this database.  The only information
     currently stored is the kernel namelist, which is used by the
     kvm_nlist(3) function.

     Specifing the file argument will override the file used to extract the
     information and the name argument overrides the default naming conven-
     tions of the resulting database file.

     For example specifing kvmkmdb /bsd.gdb bsd will read the nlist from
     /bsd.gdb and name the database file /var/run/kvmbsd.db instead of
     /var/run/kvmbsd.gdb.db.
