# mkinitcpio
> Generates initial ramdisk environments for booting the Linux kernel based on the specified preset(s).
> More information: <https://man.archlinux.org/man/mkinitcpio.8>.
- Perform a dry run (print what would be done without actually doing it):
`mkinitcpio`
- Generate a ramdisk environment based on the `linux` preset:
`mkinitcpio --preset {{linux}}`
- Generate a ramdisk environment based on the `linux-lts` preset:
`mkinitcpio --preset {{linux-lts}}`
- Generate ramdisk environments based on all existing presets (used to regenerate all the initramfs images after a change in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`):
`mkinitcpio --allpresets`
- Generate an initramfs image using an alternative configuration file:
`mkinitcpio --config {{path/to/mkinitcpio.conf}} --generate {{path/to/initramfs.img}}`
- Generate an initramfs image for a kernel other than the one currently running (the installed kernel releases can be found in `/usr/lib/modules/`):
`mkinitcpio --kernel {{kernel_version}} --generate {{path/to/initramfs.img}}`
- List all available hooks:
`mkinitcpio --listhooks`
- Display help for a specific hook:
`mkinitcpio --hookhelp {{hook_name}}`
