.Sh NAME
.Nm asf
.Nd add symbol files
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl akx
.Op Ar modules-path Op Ar outfile
.Sh DESCRIPTION
By default,
.Nm
reads
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Xr kldstat 8
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
output from standard input and writes to standard output a list of
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Xr gdb 1
commands to add symbol files from KLDs in subdirectories of the subdirectory
.Pa modules
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
of the current directory, which is intended to be a kernel build directory.
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
This allows
.Xr gdb 1
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
to load the symbols into the debugging environment.
.Pp
If
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Ar modules-path
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
is specified,
.Nm
uses it for the modules directory instead of the default
.Pa modules .
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
This is useful when building in a non-standard location (i.e., not
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
.Pa /usr/src
and
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Pa /usr/obj ) .

2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Ar outfile
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
is specified,
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Nm
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
writes to it instead of standard output.

Instead of reading from standard input, start a

.Xr kldstat 8
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
and read the information from it.
.It Fl x
Normally
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
.Nm
looks for KLDs with names of the form
.Ao Ar module Ac Ns Pa .ko.debug .
2003-06-08 06:57:57 +00:00
The
.Fl x
option tells
.Nm
2003-06-10 05:29:14 +00:00
to look for KLDs with names of the form
.Ao Ar module Ac Ns Pa .ko .

without specifying a module path.
