NAME

ksymbol − configures the kernel debugger symbol table

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ksymbol  kernel-name

DESCRIPTION

ksymbol configures a symbol table for the kernel debugger program.  Without ksymbol, the debugger can use only numeric addresses, not symbolic addresses. 

config(8) puts a call to ksymbol into the kernel makefile, so that ksymbol runs automatically when making a new kernel.  This is ordinarily the only time to run ksymbol. 

The default value for kernel-name is /vmunix.
