setsize(4)                                                setsize(4)


       NAME
             setsize - disk space requirements file

       DESCRIPTION
             This set information file defines disk space requirements for
             the target environment.  It contains information about all of
             the packages in the set.  This file describes the disk space
             taken up by installed files as well as extra space needed for
             dynamically created files, as described in each package's
             space(4) file.

             The generic format of a line in this file is:

                   pathname  blocks  inodes

             Definitions for each field are as follows:

             pkg       The short, or abbreviated, name of a package in the
                       set.  This name describes which package of the set
                       requires the amount of space described by the rest
                       of the data on this line in the setsize file.

             pathname  Names a directory in which there are objects that
                       will be installed or that will require additional
                       space.  The name may be the mountpoint for a
                       filesystem.  Names that do not begin with a slash
                       (/) indicate relocatable directories.

             blocks    Defines the number of 512 byte disk blocks required
                       for installation of the files and directory entries
                       contained in the pathname.  (Do not include
                       filesystem-dependent disk usage).

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

             At installation time, the set installation calls
             setsizecvt(1), which reduces the setsize file for a set to a
             space(4) file containing entries for only the packages that
             are selected.  It is this resulting space(4) file against
             which space checking for the set is performed.

       EXAMPLE
             # space required by packages in the Networking Set
             inet:/usr/adm     46    2
