User Commands                                         pkgproto(1)



NAME
     pkgproto - generate prototype  file  entries  for  input  to
     pkgmk command

SYNOPSIS
     pkgproto [-i] [-c class] [path1]


     pkgproto [-i] [-c class] [path1=path2]...


DESCRIPTION
     pkgproto scans the  indicated  paths  and  generates  proto-
     type(4)  file  entries  that  may  be  used  as input to the
     pkgmk(1) command.


     If no paths are specified  on  the  command  line,  standard
     input  is  assumed  to  be  a list of paths. If the pathname
     listed on the command line is a directory,  the contents  of
     the  directory  is  searched. However, if input is read from
     stdin, a directory specified  as  a  pathname  will  not  be
     searched.


     Package commands, such as pkgproto, are  largefile(5)-aware.
     They handle files larger than 2 GB in the same way they han-
     dle  smaller  files.  In  their   current   implementations,
     pkgadd(1M),  pkgtrans(1) and other package commands can pro-
     cess a datastream of  up to 4 GB.

OPTIONS
     -i          Ignores symbolic links and records the paths  as
                 ftype=f (a file) versus ftype=s (symbolic link).


     -c class    Maps the class of all paths to class.


OPERANDS
     path1    Pathname where objects are located.


     path2    Pathname which should be substituted on output  for
              path1.

     The following example shows a common usage of pkgproto and a
     partial listing of the output produced.


       example% pkgproto /bin=bin /usr/bin=usrbin /etc=etc
       f none bin/sed=/bin/sed 0775 bin bin
       f none bin/sh=/bin/sh 0755 bin daemon

       f none usrbin/sdb=/usr/bin/sdb 0775 bin bin
       f none usrbin/shl=/usr/bin/shl 4755 bin bin
       d none etc/master.d 0755 root daemon
       f none etc/master.d/kernel=/etc/master.d/kernel 0644 root daemon
       f none etc/rc=/etc/rc 0744 root daemon



     Example 2 Using pkgproto in a Pipeline


     The following command shows pkgproto accepting the output of
     the find command.


       example% find / -type d -print | pkgproto
       d none / 755 root root
       d none /bin 755 bin bin
       d none /usr 755 root root
       d none /usr/bin 775 bin bin
       d none /etc 755 root root
       d none /tmp 777 root root



EXIT STATUS
     0     Successful completion.


     >0    An error occurred.

NOTES
     By default, pkgproto creates symbolic link entries  for  any
     symbolic  link  encountered  (ftype=s).  When you use the -i
     option, pkgproto creates a file  entry  for  symbolic  links
     (ftype=f).  The prototype(4) file would have to be edited to
     assign such file types as v (volatile), e (editable),  or  x
     (exclusive  directory).  pkgproto  detects  linked files. If
     multiple files are linked together, the first  path  encoun-
     tered is considered the source of the link.


     By default, pkgproto prints prototype entries on  the  stan-
     dard  output.  However, the output should be saved in a file
     (named Prototype or prototype, for convenience) to  be  used
     as input to the pkgmk(1) command.
