pkgproto(1)

generate a prototype file

From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.

apkg has its own copy, /usr/apkg/bin/pkgproto: see pkgproto-apkgeng(1).

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

     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
