| 42 | .Op file | |
| 43 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 44 | .Nm Kvm_mkdb | |
| 45 | creates a database in | |
| 46 | .Pa /var/db , | |
| 47 | containing information about the specified file. | |
| 48 | If no file is specified, | |
| 49 | .Pa /vmunix | |
| 50 | is used by default. | |
| 51 | The file is named ``kvm_filename.db'', where ``filename'' is the | |
| 52 | name of the file read. | |
| 53 | Various library routines consult this database. | |
| 54 | .Pp | |
| 55 | The only information currently stored is the kernel namelist, which is | |
| 56 | used by the | |
| 57 | .Xr kvm_nlist 3 | |
| 58 | function, however, in the future the database may contain other static | |
| 59 | information about the current system. | |
