NAME
       space - disk space requirement file

DESCRIPTION
       space is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space
       requirements for the target environment.  It defines space needed
       beyond that which is used by objects defined in the prototype file--
       for example, files which will be installed with the installf command.
       It should define the maximum amount of additional space which 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  Specifies a directory name which may or may not be the
                 mount point for a filesystem.  Names that do not begin with
                 a slash (/) indicate relocatable directories.

       blocks    Defines 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    Defines the number of inodes required for installation of
                 the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.

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