kreg(8)
NAME
  kreg - Maintains the system file that registers kernel layered products

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/kreg -d subset [-c NAME] | -l vendor subset path [-c NAME]

OPTIONS
  -c NAME
      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.

  -d subset
      Deletes the entry for the specified layered product when you remove it
      from the system.

  -l vendor subset path
      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 creates
  the file if it does not exist.  The file enables system utilities or user
  supplied commands to locate the kernel parts of a layered product, 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 following 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 .product.list file.  This is useful
  if you want to load your layered product into a specific NAME.list file
  without requiring the user to either copy the entire .product.list 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 command
  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
  /usr/sys/conf/.product.list
      Contains kernel layered product information.

  /usr/sys/conf/NAME.list
      Used to extend the kernel configuration files.
