.Dd May 3, 2003 .Dt KVM_MKDB 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm kvm_mkdb .Nd create kernel database .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl o Ar database .Op file .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm creates a database,
a /var/db/kvm.db , containing information about the specified file. If no file is specified,
a /dev/ksyms is used by default. The database will only be recreated if its contents do not already describe the running kernel.
p The options are as follows: l -tag -width indent t Fl o Ar database Put the output databases in the named file. .El
p 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. In the future, the database may contain other static information about the current system. .Sh FILES l -tag -width /var/db/kvm.db -compact t Pa /netbsd t Pa /var/db/kvm.db .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kvm_nlist 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in x 4.4 . .Sh BUGS The database is not updated when kernel modules are loaded.
