NAME
space - disk space a package needs beyond its own files
SYNOPSIS
install/space
DESCRIPTION
pkgadd(1M) checks before installing that each file system has room for the files the package's pkgmap(5) lists. A package that will need more - files its scripts create, a database it grows into - says so in a space file, named in its prototype(5) as i space.
Each line is
separated by white space. Lines that are empty or start with # are ignored.
- path
- a directory or file; the amount is added to the file system that holds it. A relative path is taken under the package's BASEDIR.
- blocks
- 512-byte blocks
- inodes
- files to be created
The check runs unless the admin file says space=nocheck (admin(5)); with space=quit (apkg's default) a package that does not fit is not installed.
EXAMPLE
