      DUMP(5)                 GENIX Programmer's Manual                 DUMP(5)



      NAME
           dump, ddate - incremental dump format

      SYNOPSIS
           #include <sys/types.h>
           #include <sys/ino.h>
           #include <dumprestor.h>

      DESCRIPTION
           Tapes used by dump and restor(8) contain:

                a header record
                two groups of bit map records
                a group of records describing directories
                a group of records describing files

           The format of the header record and of  the  first  record  of  each
           description as given in the include file <dumprestor.h> is:

           #define NTREC       20

      DUMP(5)                 GENIX Programmer's Manual                 DUMP(5)



           #define   DUMPOUTFMT     "%-16s %c %s"       /* for printf */
                                         /* name, incno, ctime(date) */
           #define   DUMPINFMT "%16s %c %[^\n]\n"  /* inverse for scanf */

           NTREC is the number of 1024 byte records in a physical  tape  block.
           MLEN is the number of bits in a bit map word.  MSIZ is the number of
           bit map words.

           The TS_ entries are used in the c_type field to indicate  what  sort
           of header this is.  The types and their meanings are as follows:

           TS_TAPE      Tape volume label
           TS_INODE     A file or directory follows.  The c_dinode field  is  a
                        copy  of  the disk inode and contains bits telling what
                        sort of file this is.
           TS_BITS      A bit map follows.  This bit map has a one bit for each
                        inode that was dumped.
           TS_ADDR      A subrecord of a file description.  See c_addr below.
           TS_END       End of tape record.
           TS_CLRI      A bit map follows.  This bit map contains  a  zero  bit
                        for  all inodes that were empty on the file system when
                        dumped.
           MAGIC        All header records have this number in c_magic.
           CHECKSUM     Header records checksum to this value.

           The fields of the header structure are as follows:

           c_type       The type of the header.
           c_date       The date the dump was taken.
           c_ddate      The date the file system was dumped from.
           c_volume     The current volume number of the dump.
           c_tapea      The current number of this (1024-byte) record.
           c_inumber    The number of the inode being dumped if this is of type
                        TS_INODE.
           c_magic      This contains  the  value  MAGIC  above,  truncated  as
                        needed.
           c_checksum   This contains whatever value  is  needed  to  make  the
                        record sum to CHECKSUM.
           c_dinode     This is a copy of the inode as it appears on  the  file
                        system; see filsys(5).
           c_count      The count of characters in c_addr.
           c_addr       An array of characters describing  the  blocks  of  the
                        dumped  file.  A character is zero if the block associ-
                        ated with that character was not present  on  the  file
                        system,  otherwise  the  character is non-zero.  If the
                        block was not present on the file system, no block  was
                        dumped;  the  block  will  be restored as a hole in the
                        file.  If there is not sufficient space in this  record
                        to  describe  all  of  the  blocks  in  a file, TS_ADDR
                        records will be scattered through the  file,  each  one
                        picking up where the last left off.

           Each volume except the last ends with a tapemark (read as an end  of
           file).  The last volume ends with a TS_END record and then the tape-
           mark.

           The structure idates describes an entry of the file /etc/ddate where
           dump   history   is   kept.    N.B.:   /etc/ddate  is  obsoleted  by
           /etc/dumpdates (see dump(8)).  The fields of the structure are:

           id_name  The dumped filesystem is `/dev/id_nam'.
           id_incno The level number of the dump tape; see dump(8).
           id_ddate The date of the  incremental  dump  in  system  format  see
                    types(5).
