-kldxref(8) used to generate linker.hints file which contains list of
-modules, their version numbers and container KLDs. This file used by loader
-and kernel linker.
-
-Each directory with KLDs should have its own linker.hints file.
-
-Typical invocation of kldxref utility may look like this:
-
-kldxref /boot/kernel /modules
-
-which will build hints file in both directories.
-
-A recursive behaviour can be specified with -R option:
-
-kldxref /boot
-
-If no hint records written, hints file will not be created and old file
-will be removed.
-
-If -d flag specified then no files generated and program prints metadata
-records to stdout.

+.Nd genereate hints for the kernel loader
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl Rdv
+.Op Fl f Ar file
+.Op Ar path ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command is used to generate hint files which list modules, their
+version numbers, and the files that contains them.
+These hints are used by the kernel loader to determine where to find a
+particular KLD module.
+.Pp
+A separate hint file is generated for each directory listed on the
+command line that contains modules.
+If no hint records are generated for a particular directory, no hint
+file is created, and the preexisting hint file (if there was one in
+that directory) is removed.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl R
+Recurse into subdirectories.
+.It Fl d
+Don't generate a hint file, but print module metadata on standard
+output.
+.It Fl f Ar file
+Specify a different name for the hint files than
+.Pa linker.hints .
+.It Fl v
+Operate in verbose mode.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To build hint files for both standard and add-on modules:
+.Pp
+.Dl kldxref /boot/kernel /modules
+.Pp
+To build hint files for all installed kernels:
+.Pp
+.Dl kldxref -R /boot
