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 pack-
     age 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 [see variable BASEDIR
               in pkginfo(4)].

     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.

EXAMPLES
     # extra space required by config data which is
     # dynamically loaded onto the system
     data    500     1
     # extra space required under /opt
     /opt    200     15
