 Name

    space - disk space requirement file

 Description

    space is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space require-
    ments 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 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
