+.Sh NAME
+.Nm kldxref
+.Nd generate hints for the kernel loader
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl Rdv
+.Op Fl f Ar hintsfile
+.Ar path ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to generate hint files which list modules, their
+version numbers, and the files that contain them.
+These hints are used by the kernel loader to determine where to find a
+particular KLD module.
+.Pp
+A separate hint file is generated for each directory listed on the
+command line that contains modules.
+If no hint records are generated for a particular directory, no hint
+file is created, and the preexisting hint file (if there was one in
+that directory) is removed.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+only processes files that either have no dots in their name like
+.Pa kernel
+or that end in
+.Dq .ko
+like
+.Pa foo.ko .
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl R
+Recurse into subdirectories.
+.It Fl d
+Do not generate a hint file, but print module metadata on standard
+output.
+.It Fl f Ar hintsfile
+Specify a different name for the hints files than
+.Pa linker.hints .
+.It Fl v
+Operate in verbose mode.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To build hint files for both standard and add-on modules:
+.Pp
+.Dl "kldxref /boot/kernel /boot/modules"
+.Pp
+To build hint files for all installed kernels:
+.Pp
+.Dl "kldxref -R /boot"
