NAME
      idmkunix - build new UNIX System kernel

SYNOPSIS
      /etc/conf/bin/idmkunix

DESCRIPTION
      The idmkunix command creates a bootable UNIX Operating System kernel in
      the directory /etc/conf/cf.d .  The component kernel "core" files and
      device driver object files contained in subdirectories of
      /etc/conf/pack.d are used as input along with device and parameter
      definition files produced by idconfig.  In brief, the required input
      files are as follows:

         /etc/conf/cf.d/conf.c- Kernel data structures and function
                                definitions
         /etc/conf/cf.d/config.h- Kernel parameter and device definitions
         /etc/conf/cf.d/vector.c- Interrupt vector definitions
         /etc/conf/cf.d/direct- Listing of all driver components included
                                     in the build
         /etc/conf/cf.d/fsconf.c- File system type configuration data
         /etc/conf/cf.d/vuifile- Memory management definitions for
                                the kernel
         /etc/conf/pack.d/*/Driver.o- Component kernel object files
         /etc/conf/pack.d/*/space.c- Component kernel space allocation files
         /etc/conf/pack.d/*/stubs.c- Component kernel stubs files

      The command line options are as follows:

      -o directory     The file unix be created in the directory specified
                       rather than /etc/conf/cf.d.

      -i directory     Input files that normally reside in /etc/conf/cf.d can
                       be found in the directory specified.

      -r directory     The directory specified will be used as the ID "root"
                       directory rather than /etc/conf .

      -c, cc,  -l, ld  These options are no longer supported.

      -#               Print debugging information.

ERROR MESSAGES
      An exit value of zero indicates success.  If an error was encountered,
      idmkunix will exit with a non-zero value and report an error message.
      All error messages are designed to be self-explanatory.
