NAME

dumpdir, 512dumpdir − print the names of files on a dump tape

SYNTAX

dumpdir [ f filename ] [ d ]
512dumpdir [ f filename ] [ d ]

DESCRIPTION

The dumpdir command reads magtapes dumped with the dump command and lists the names and inode numbers of all the files and directories on the tape. 

The f option causes filename as the name of the tape instead of the default. 

The d option lists the entries of the dumpdate file (/etc/ddate). 

The 512dumpdir command is used to read tapes dumped from 512-byte block file systems. 

RESTRICTIONS

There is redundant information on the tape that could be used in case of tape reading problems.  Unfortunately, dumpdir does not use it. 

DIAGNOSTICS

If the dump extends over more than one tape, it may ask you to change tapes.  Reply with a new-line when the next tape has been mounted. 

FILES

/dev/rht0 - default tape
rst*- temporary files
