KVM_MKDB(8)             OpenBSD System Manager's Manual            KVM_MKDB(8)

NAME
     kvm_mkdb - create kernel database



SYNOPSIS
     kvm_mkdb [file]

DESCRIPTION
     Kvm_mkdb creates a database in /var/db containing information about the
     specified file.  If no file is specified, /bsd 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 in-
     formation currently stored is the kernel namelist, which is used by the
     kvm_nlist(3) function, however, in the future the database may contain
     other static information about the current system.

FILES
     /bsd
     /var/db/kvm_bsd.db

SEE ALSO
     kvm_nlist(3)
