UNIX System V (XENIX or UNIX) VOLNO(SCO)
Name
volno - updates volume number information for files
Syntax
volno [ -ac ] [ -o pattern ] [ -f types ] [ -k keyword]
permlists
Options
-a Allows addition of volume number information if the
volume number field was not yet included in the
permlist. (Default action is to return an error during
update if the volume number field is missing.)
-c Does a check to see if any volume numbers need to be
updated, and reports discrepancies without making
changes.
-o pattern
The pattern to be matched for selection of file lists.
Note that the pattern must contain a ``#'' which is
then replaced with a filename corresponding to the two
digit volume number. For example, dist/# indicates
that the file lists are in files named dist/01,
dist/02, and so on.
-f types
Allows you to specify the types of files which occur on
a distribution volume. This information is necessary
since some archive programs do not include files of
certain types.
The allowed file types are:
a Archive
b Block device
c Character device
d Directory
e Empty
f Regular
p Named pipe
x Executable
The default setting recognizes empty, regular,
executable, and archive files.
-k keyword
A keyword may be specified which is then prepended by volno
onto the volume number in the permlist. This is useful if
there are several packages within a single distribution set,
and the volumes within a single package are to be
distinguished from those in other packages.
Description
volno is designed for use with fdfit(SCO) to update a
permlist suitable for use by fixperm with the appropriate
volume number for each file in the package. fdfit(SCO)
produces a file for each volume needed, containing a list of
the appropriate distribution files to be included in the
named volume. volno is then designed to use the information
contained in these files in order to update a permlist file
with the volume number for each file of a distribution.
The default pattern is that produced by fdfit(SCO).
