 pkgsize(SMT)                   6 January 1993                   pkgsize(SMT)


 Name

    pkgsize - updates package size information

 Syntax

    pkgsize [-cv] permlists

 Options


    -c   checks the files against the package size information in the perm-
         list file, reporting any package sizes that are incorrect.

    -v   displays, for each package in the set (as indicated by the package
         name in the first field of the permlist), a verbose listing of the
         number of blocks, files, links, directories, and devices.  The final
         field listed indicates whether the package information was updated.


 Description

    pkgsize is designed for use with permlists of a special, extended format
    recognized by custom.  Comment fields of a particular syntax, which are
    ignored by fixperm, contain the total size (in blocks) of each package
    within a set.  pkgsize updates the numeric size information.  For exam-
    ple, a permlist size comment might be:

       #! PRO        1020        SCO Professional Spreadsheet Package

    pkgsize would update the numeric field based on the total size of all
    files marked as being part of the PRO package.

    Notice that you need to be sure that the files themselves are available
    in the same relative position as is indicated by the relative pathname
    specified in the permlist.  pkgsize recognizes link information, and only
    counts the size of linked files once.
