$FreeBSD: head/usr.sbin/kldxref/fileformat 83322 2001-09-11 01:13:15Z peter $ linker.hints file consists from the one or more records. First record of file is special and determines its version: int version; All subsequent records have following format: struct record { int length; /* length of following data */ char data[length]; }; Each record is aligned on sizeof(int) boundary. First integer of the field 'data' determines its type: struct data { int type; /* type of data. currently MTD_* values */ }; The rest of record depends on the type. struct string { int length; /* length of string */ char val[]; /* string itself (no terminating zero) */ }; struct data_mdt_version { int type = MDT_VERSION; struct string modname; int version; struct string kldname; }; struct data_mdt_module { int type = MDT_VERSION; struct string modname; struct string kldname; };
