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
