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 installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.

EXAMPLE

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