kreg(8)kreg(8)NAMEkreg - Maintains the system file that registers kernel layered products
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/kreg -d subset [-c NAME] | -l vendor subset path [-c NAME]
OPTIONS
Causes the specified layered product to be loaded or deleted from the
NAME.list file for the given name in addition to the
/usr/sys/conf/.product.list file. Note that the NAME parameter is case
sensitive and must exactly match the NAME prefix for the desired
NAME.list file. Deletes the entry for the specified layered product
when you remove it from the system. Loads the data that controls how
to include the layered product in the kernel build process.
DESCRIPTION
The kreg command maintains the /usr/sys/conf/.product.list system file,
which registers static kernel layered products. The kreg command cre‐
ates the file if it does not exist. The file enables system utilities
or user supplied commands to locate the kernel parts of a layered prod‐
uct, and it provides information about layered products.
The kernel tools use the /usr/sys/conf/.product.list file to build a
layered product into the kernel. You can use the file to register a
static kernel layered product that has been loaded into the system.
The file also can be used by the layered product's Software Control
Program (SCP), which is called by the setld command.
You copy the /usr/sys/conf/.product.list file into the file that is
used to extend the kernel configuration files and that has the follow‐
ing syntax: /usr/sys/conf/NAME.list
The NAME variable specifies the system name that also is used in the
system configuration file that has the following syntax:
/usr/sys/conf/NAME
The doconfig command also will copy the /usr/sys/conf/.product.list
file.
You can use the -c option to load or delete your layered product into a
specific NAME.list file as well as the file. This is useful if you
want to load your layered product into a specific NAME.list file with‐
out requiring the user to either copy the entire file to the NAME.list
file or to manually edit the NAME.list file.
The kreg command must be invoked from the root (/) directory. The com‐
mand can be used only for subsets that are loaded by using the setld
command. Also, you must be superuser to use the kreg command.
FILES
Contains kernel layered product information. Used to extend the kernel
configuration files.
