NAME

revck − check internal revision numbers of HP-UX files

SYNOPSIS

/etc/revck ref_files

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NON-STANDARD

Origin: HP

Remarks: Not supported on the Integral Personal Computer. 

DESCRIPTION

Revck checks the internal revision numbers of lists of files against reference lists.  Each ref_file must contain a list of absolute path names (each beginning with "/") and whatstrings (revision information strings from what(1)).  Path names begin in column one of a line, and have a colon appended to them.  Each path name is followed by zero or more lines of whatstrings, one per line, each indented by at least one tab (this is the same format in which what(1) outputs its results). 

For each path name, revck checks that the file exists, and that executing what(1) on the current path name produces results identical to the whatstrings in the reference file.  Only the first 1024 bytes of whatstrings are checked. 

Ref_files are usually the absolute path names of the revlist files shipped with HP-UX.  Each HP-UX software product includes a file named /system/product/revlist (for example, /system/97070A/revlist).  The revlist file for each product is a reference list for the ordinary files shipped with the product, plus any empty directories on which the product depends. 

FILES

/system/product/revlist lists of HP-UX files and revision numbers

DIAGNOSTICS

Revck is silent except for reporting missing files or mismatches.  If a ref_file is not in the right format, you will get unpredictable results.
