SYNOPSIS
kvm_mkdb [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Kvm_mkdb creates a db(3) database in ``/var/run/kvm_vmunix.db'' which contains the namelist of file (or, by default, /vmunix). Each symbol is stored with its name as the key and its associated nlist structure as the data.

The kvm_nlist (3) library routines use this database.

The text string found at the location referenced by the symbol ``_version'' is stored as the data associated with the special key ``VERSION''.

FILES
/vmunix Default file read for namelist
