NAME

usync − synchronize two setld inventory files to reflect current system status

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lbin/usync [ −d ] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION

The usync command is used to achieve inventory synchonization by merging two inventory files according to the pathname field of the inventory records. The result is directed to standard output. 

If the two inventory files contain records with the same pathname, the record in file2 is written and the record in file1 is ignored. If either inventory file contains a pathname not present in the other file, the record containing that pathname is written to standard outout. To reflect the current system inventory, file2 should represent a later installation than file1. 

FLAGS

−dEnables debugging. This will print the pairs of pathnames being synchronized on the standard output. 

RESTRICTIONS

The two inventory files must be sorted in ascending ASCII sequence on the pathname field. 

EXAMPLES

The following command produces a synchronized inventory for two versions of the OATDCB subset:

/usr/lbin/usync OATDCB100.inv OATDCB120.inv

ERRORS

usync: file is corrupt
Records in one of the inventory files are not sorted properly.

FILES

/usr/.smdb./∗.inv Subset inventory files
