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.
     Options to pkgproto include the following:

     -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 of objects located

     path2     Pathname 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
