pkgproto(1)                (Essential Utilities)                pkgproto(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
