This should help people transitioning from traditional setups to pkgbase experience a lot less friction. We do this by skipping all files containing two dots. Reviewed by: imp Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/661 Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27959

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm kldxref
|
|
.Nd generate hints for the kernel loader
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl Rdv
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar hintsfile
|
|
.Ar path ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to generate hint files which list modules, their
|
|
version numbers, and the files that contain them.
|
|
These hints are used by the kernel loader to determine where to find a
|
|
particular KLD module.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A separate hint file is generated for each directory listed on the
|
|
command line that contains modules.
|
|
If no hint records are generated for a particular directory, no hint
|
|
file is created, and the preexisting hint file (if there was one in
|
|
that directory) is removed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
ignores files with at least two "."s in the filename, such as
|
|
.Pa foo.ko.debug
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa bar.ko.pkgsave .
|
|
Note that this means that modules cannot have names such as
|
|
.Pa foo.bar.ko .
|
|
This limitation however, has been lived practice since the beginning of
|
|
FreeBSD's kernel modules.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Recurse into subdirectories.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Do not generate a hint file, but print module metadata on standard
|
|
output.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar hintsfile
|
|
Specify a different name for the hints files than
|
|
.Pa linker.hints .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Operate in verbose mode.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To build hint files for both standard and add-on modules:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "kldxref /boot/kernel /boot/modules"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To build hint files for all installed kernels:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "kldxref -R /boot"
