NAME
     pkgproto - generate a prototype file

SYNOPSIS
     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     Pathname where objects are located.

     path2     Pathname which 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 pathname listed on the command line
               is a directory, the contents of the  directory  is
               searched.  However, if input is read from stdin, a
               directory specified as  a  pathname  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.

EXAMPLE
     The following two examples  show  uses  of  pkgproto  and  a
     parial listing of the output produced.  Example 1:
          $ pkgproto /usr/bin=bin /usr/usr/bin=usrbin /etc=etc
          f none bin/sed=/bin/sed 0775 bin bin
          f none bin/sh=/bin/sh 0755 bin daemon
          f none bin/sort=/bin/sort 0755 bin bin
          f none usrbin/sdb=/usr/bin/sdb 0775 bin bin
          f none usrbin/shl=/usr/bin/shl 4755 bin bin
          d none etc/master.d 0755 root daemon
          f none etc/master.d/kernel=/etc/master.d/kernel 0644 root daemon
          f none etc/rc=/etc/rc 0744 root daemon
     Example 2:
          $ find / -type d -print | pkgproto
          d none / 755 root root
          d none /usr/bin 755 bin bin



                                                                1

pkgproto(1)              USER COMMANDS                pkgproto(1)



          d none /usr 755 root root
          d none /usr/bin 775 bin bin
          d none /etc 755 root root
          d none /tmp 777 root root
