icdpatch(1M) icdpatch(1M)
NAME
icdpatch - patch in-core disk into kernel
SYNOPSIS
icdpatch [-s] [-u unixname] filesystem
DESCRIPTION
icdpatch will determine the size in blocks of the filesystem
specified and print the size to its standard output. If the -u flag
is given, icdpatch will copy the entire filesystem into the location
given unixname starting at the location in unixname specified by the
the symbol "icdbase." Unixname must be a COFF or ELF binary that has
a data symbol "icdbase." Unixname should be a bootable kernel and
icdbase should represent a buffer in data space large enough to hold
the filesystem. Filesystem may be a regular file or a special file
as long as its contents is an s5 filesystem.
The -u flag also suppresses the printout of the filesystem size. The
-s flag gives a more verbose output of the filesystem size.
Icdpatch is intended to be called by cunix(1m) to patch the In-Core
Disk (ICD) image into a bootable kernel.
