NAME
      pkgproto - generate a prototype file

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

DESCRIPTION
      pkgproto scans the indicated paths and generates a prototype file that
      may be used as input to the pkgmk command.

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

      -c        Maps the class of all paths to class.

      path1     Path of directory where objects are located.

      path2     Path that should be substituted on output for path1.

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

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 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 encountered is considered the
      source of the link.

EXAMPLE
      The following two examples show uses of pkgproto and a parial listing of
      the output produced.

      Example 1:
           $ pkgproto /usr/bin=bin /usr/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 bin/sort=/bin/sort 0755 bin bin
           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:
           $ find / -type d -print | pkgproto
           d none / 755 root root
           d none /usr/bin 755 bin bin
           d none /usr 755 root root
