Elimination of /usr/kvm

As of Solaris 2.5, the /usr/kvm directory is no longer needed by the

operating environment. The mount point continues to be provided for

backward compatibility although all of the contents have been removed.

In earlier releases, /usr/kvm contained the platform specific implementations

of programs and libraries. The interface to these platform specific

implementations was generally advertized to be in a platform independent

directory and a symbolic link was used to bind the advertized platform

independent interface to the platform specific implementation in /usr/kvm.

Implementation Interface(s)

/usr/kvm/adb /usr/bin/adb

/usr/kvm/arch /usr/ucb/arch

Note: Source Compatibility Package Component

/usr/kvm/crash /usr/bin/mdb

Note: Solaris Modular Debugger Guide describes how to

transition from crash(1M) to mdb(1).

Note: These are documented on the machid(1) manual

page. These are fully deprecated interfaces.

Note: /usr/lib/libkvm.a is no longer a component

of SunOS.

/usr/kvm/libkvm.so /usr/lib/libkvm.so

The following platform specific objects were also delivered in previous

releases of SunOS. They are only of use with specific platforms and

it was always documented that the path to these objects was uncommitted.
