| e73192a1 | 42 | The |
| 984263bc | 43 | .Ar filename |
| e73192a1 SW |
44 | argument specifies which file (or |
| 45 | .Sq - | |
| 46 | for stdout) the information should be saved to. | |
| 47 | If the file exists, it will be overwritten. | |
| 984263bc | 48 | .Pp |
| e73192a1 SW |
49 | Most typically, the information is written to a |
| 50 | .Pa /boot/kernel.conf | |
| 51 | file which is then loaded from | |
| 52 | .Pa /boot/loader.rc | |
| 53 | (using | |
| 54 | .Dq "load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf" ) , | |
| 55 | saving the user from having to re-enter it each time the system is booted. | |
