NAME
     space - disk space requirement file

DESCRIPTION
     space is an ASCII file that  gives  information  about  disk
     space  requirements  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 the 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  instal-
               lation  of  the  files  and directory entries con-
               tained in the pathname.

EXAMPLE
     # extra space required by config data which is
     # dynamically loaded onto the system
     data 500  1
