-mkinitcpio.conf - mkinitcpio configuration file
-
-Synopsis
---------
-/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
-
-Description
------------
-mkinitcpio will attempt to read from a config file each time it is invoked,
-`/etc/mkinitcpio.conf' by default. This file defines several variables which
-describe the contents of the image to be generated.
-
-Variables
----------
-*MODULES*::
-
- Defines additional modules, space delimited, which should be added to the
- image. Dependencies (including other modules and necessary firmware), will
- also be added to the image. At runtime, the modules in this array which
- were successfully added to the image will be explicitly loaded.
-
-*FILES*::
-
- Defines additional files, space delimited, which should be added to the image.
- Files are added as is, and parent directories will be added if needed. Files
- specified in this variable will override previously added files of the same
- path.
-
-*BINARIES*::
-
- Defines additional binaries, space delimited, which should be added to the
- image. These are assumed to be dynamic ELF binaries, and necessary shared
- library dependencies will automatically be added. However, it is not
- considered an error to specify a non-ELF binary in this variable. Parent
- directories will be added if needed. Files specified in this variable will
- override previously added files of the same path.
-
-*HOOKS*::
-
- This variable defines the hooks which will be run during the build process.
- Order is important, as it defines the order in which hooks will be run
- during bootup. Use mkinitcpio's '-L' flag to list all available hooks,
- and the '-H' flag to display the help text for a specific hook.
-
-*COMPRESSION*::
-
- Defines a program to filter the generated image through. As of linux 2.6.38,
- the kernel understands the compression formats yielded by the *gzip*, *bzip2*,
- *lzop*, *lzma*, and *xz* compressors. If unspecified, this setting defaults to
- *gzip* compression. In order to create an uncompressed image, define this
- variable as *cat*.
-+
-It's not hard to realize that a filter such as a *tac* or *rev* will cause
-*mkinitcpio* to report success but generate a useless image. Similarly, using a
-compression program not listed above may generate an equally useless image,
-despite being "valid".
-
-*COMPRESSION_OPTIONS*::
-
- Defines additional options to be passed to the compression program. This option
- is generally not used. It can be potentially dangerous and may cause
- invalid images to be generated without any sign of an error.
