revck(1M)
NAME
revck − check internal revision numbers of HP-UX files
SYNOPSIS
/etc/revck ref_files
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 — see what(1)). Path names begin in column 1 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 outputs its results).
For each path name, revck checks that the file exists, and that executing what 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

DIAGNOSTICS

WARNINGS
revck produces unpredictable results if a ref_file is not in the right format.
