NAME
     fdump, dumpdates - incremental dump format

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <ufs/inode.h>
     #include <protocols/dumprestore.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Tapes used by fdump and restore(1M) contain:

          a header record
          two groups of bit map records
          a group of records describing directories
          a group of records describing files

     The format of the header record and of the first record of
     each description as given in the include file
     <protocols/dumprestore.h> is:

     #define   DUMPOUTFMT     "%-16s %c %s"       /* for printf */
                                   /* name, incno, ctime(date) */
     #define   DUMPINFMT "%16s %c %[^\n]\n"  /* inverse for scanf */

     NTREC is the number of 1024 byte records in a physical tape
     block.  MLEN is the number of bits in a bit map word.  MSIZ
     is the number of bit map words.

     The TS_ entries are used in the c_type field to indicate
     what sort of header this is.  The types and their meanings
     are as follows:

     TS_TAPE      Tape volume label
     TS_INODE     A file or directory follows.  The c_dinode
                  field is a copy of the disk inode and contains
                  bits telling what sort of file this is.
     TS_BITS      A bit map follows.  This bit map has a one bit
                  for each inode that was dumped.
     TS_ADDR      A subrecord of a file description.  See c_addr
                  below.
     TS_END       End of tape record.
     TS_CLRI      A bit map follows.  This bit map contains a
                  zero bit for all inodes that were empty on the
                  file system when dumped.
     MAGIC        All header records have this number in c_magic.
     CHECKSUM     Header records checksum to this value.

     The fields of the header structure are as follows:

     c_type       The type of the header.
     c_date       The date the dump was taken.
     c_ddate      The date the file system was dumped from.
     c_volume     The current volume number of the dump.
     c_tapea      The current number of this (1024-byte) record.
     c_inumber    The number of the inode being dumped if this is
                  of type TS_INODE.
     c_magic      This contains the value MAGIC above, truncated
                  as needed.
     c_checksum   This contains whatever value is needed to make
                  the record sum to CHECKSUM.
     c_dinode     This is a copy of the inode as it appears on
                  the file system; see fs(4).
     c_count      The count of characters in c_addr.
     c_addr       An array of characters describing the blocks of
                  the dumped file.  A character is zero if the
                  block associated with that character was not
                  present on the file system, otherwise the char-
                  acter is non-zero.  If the block was not
                  present on the file system, no block was
                  dumped; the block will be restored as a hole in
                  the file.  If there is not sufficient space in
                  this record to describe all of the blocks in a

                  file, TS_ADDR records will be scattered through
                  the file, each one picking up where the last
                  left off.

     Each volume except the last ends with a tapemark (read as an
     end of file).  The last volume ends with a TS_END record and
     then the tapemark.

     The structure idates describes an entry in the file
     /etc/dumpdates where dump history is kept.  The fields of
     the structure are:

     id_name  The dumped filesystem is '/dev/id_nam'.
     id_incno The level number of the dump tape; see fdump(1M).
     id_ddate The date of the incremental dump in system format.
