MKBOM(8)                  BSD System Manager's Manual                 MKBOM(8)

NAME
     mkbom -- create a bill-of-materials file

SYNOPSIS
     mkbom [-s] directory bom
     mkbom [-s] -i filelist bom
     mkbom -h | --help

DESCRIPTION
     The mkbom command creates a bill-of-materials (bom(5)).  You must specify either a source as a direc-tory, directory,
     tory, or a text file containing a file listing as outputted by lsbom(8).  mkbom will generate bill-of-materials bill-ofmaterials
     materials information based on that information.  Any existing bomfile will be overwritten by the new
     bomfile.

     Options:

     -h           print full usage

     -s           create a simplified bom containing only file paths

     -i filelist  use the information in filelist, one entry per line, to construct the bom file. The format
                  of the file should match lsbom(8) output with no formatting options (the default). If -s
                  is given to mkbom, the input filelist should contain only pathnames, as with lsbom -s.

HISTORY
     The mkbom command appeared in NeXTSTEP as a tool to create bom files used during installation.
