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, /vmunix 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
information 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
/vmunix
/var/db/kvm_vmunix.db
