NAME
     space - disk space requirement file

DESCRIPTION
     space is an ASCII file that  gives  information  about  disk
     space  requirements  for  the  target environment. The space
     file defines space needed beyond what  is  used  by  objects
     defined  in  the prototype(4) file; for example, files which
     will be installed with the installf(1M) command.  The  space
     file  should  define  the maximum amount of additional space
     that a package will require.


     The generic format of a line in this file is:


     pathname  blocks  inodes


     Definitions for the fields are as follows:

     pathname    Specify a directory name which may or may not be
                 the mount  point for a filesystem. Names that do
                 not begin with a slash  ('/') indicate  relocat-
                 able directories.


     blocks      Define the number of disk  blocks  required  for
                 installation  of the files and directory entries
                 contained in  the  pathname  (using  a  512-byte
                 block size).


     inodes      Define the number of inodes required for instal-
                 lation  of  the files and directory entries con-
                 tained in the pathname.


EXAMPLES
     Example 1 A sample file.

       # extra space required by config data which is
       # dynamically loaded onto the system
       data 500  1
