is used to view and search the contents of the kernel configuration log file.
kcpath(1M)
is used by scripts to determine the path of the running kernel.
kcusage(1M)

Deprecated/obsoleted commands
The commands mk_kernel(1M), kmtune(1M) and kmpath(1M) present in previous HP-UX
releases can still be used. They have been re-implemented as small shell scripts that invoke the
