     23 Elimination of /usr/kvm

     31 As of Solaris 2.5, the /usr/kvm directory is no longer needed by the
     32 operating environment.  The mount point continues to be provided for
     33 backward compatibility although all of the contents have been removed.
     34 
     35 In earlier releases, /usr/kvm contained the platform specific implementations
     36 of programs and libraries.  The interface to these platform specific
     37 implementations was generally advertized to be in a platform independent
     38 directory and a symbolic link was used to bind the advertized platform
     39 independent interface to the platform specific implementation in /usr/kvm.
     40 
     41 Implementation		Interface(s)
     42 
     43 /usr/kvm/adb		/usr/bin/adb
     44 
     45 /usr/kvm/arch		/usr/ucb/arch
     46 
     47 			Note: Source Compatibility Package Component
     48 
     49 /usr/kvm/crash		/usr/bin/mdb
     50 
     51 			Note: Solaris Modular Debugger Guide describes how to
     52 			transition from crash(1M) to mdb(1).

     64 			Note:	These are documented on the machid(1) manual
     65 				page.  These are fully deprecated interfaces.

     70 				of SunOS.

     76 The following platform specific objects were also delivered in previous
     77 releases of SunOS.  They are only of use with specific platforms and
     78 it was always documented that the path to these objects was uncommitted.
