          NAME
               idmkunix - build new UNIX system kernel

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/conf/bin/idmkunix

          DESCRIPTION
               The idmkunix command creates a bootable INTERACTIVE 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:

               /etc/conf/cf.d/conf.cKernel data structures and function
                                definitions
               /etc/conf/cf.d/config.hKernel parameter and device definitions
               /etc/conf/cf.d/vector.cInterrupt vector definitions
               /etc/conf/cf.d/directListing of all driver components included
                                in the build
               /etc/conf/cf.d/fsconf.cFile system type configuration data
               /etc/conf/cf.d/definesList of all preprocessor define symbols
                                needed to compile kernel source files
               /etc/conf/cf.d/vuifileMemory management definitions for
                                the kernel
               /etc/conf/pack.d/*/Driver.oComponent kernel object files
               /etc/conf/pack.d/*/space.cComponent kernel space allocation files
               /etc/conf/pack.d/*/stubs.cComponent 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 direc-
                                tory 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 nonzero value and
               report an error message.  All error messages are designed to
               be self-explanatory.
