pkgproto(ADM)                   19 June 1992                   pkgproto(ADM)


 Name

    pkgproto  - generate a prototype(F) file

 Syntax

    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.

 Examples

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

    Example 1:

       $ pkgproto /bin=bin /usr/bin=usrbin /etc=etc
       f none bin/sed=/bin/sed 0711 bin bin
       f none bin/sh=/bin/sh 1711 bin bin
       f none bin/sort=/bin/sort 0711 bin bin
       f none usrbin/sdb=/usr/bin/sdb 0711 bin bin
       f none usrbin/shl=/usr/bin/shl 4555 root sys
       f none etc/rc=/etc/rc 0744 root sys


    Example 2:

       $ find / -type d -print | pkgproto
       d none / 755 root bin
       d none /usr/bin 755 bin bin
       d none /usr 755 root auth
       d none /etc 755 bin auth
       d none /tmp 1777 sys sys
