.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Kvm_mkdb
|
|
|
|
|
creates a database in
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /var/db
|
|
|
|
|
containing information about the specified file.
|
|
|
|
|
If no file is specified,
|
1994-08-05 09:14:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /kernel
|
1994-05-26 05:23:31 +00:00
|
|
|
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 information currently stored is the kernel namelist, which is
|
|
|
|
|
used by the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr kvm_nlist 3
|
|
|
|
|
function, however, in the future the database may contain other static
|
|
|
|
|
information about the current system.
