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. - -See Also --------- -*mkinitcpio*(8) - -Authors -------- -mkinitcpio is created and maintained by the Arch Linux Developer community. - -Copyright ---------- -Copyright (c) Arch Linux 2006-2012 |
