invcutter(1) General Commands Manual invcutter(1) Name invcutter - generate subset inventory files Syntax /usr/sys/dist/invcutter [ -d ] [ -f root-path ] [ -f version-code ] Description The command reads master inventory records from standard input. A subset inventory record is written to standard output for every record read from the input. The information contained in the output record is derived from the input record and the file attribute information in the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory. Options -d Enable debugging. No useful diagnostics are printed. -f root-path Specify an alternate root path for finding file attribute information. -v version-code Specify a 3-digit version code for use in the version field of the output records. The default version code is 010. Restrictions All input records must be sorted in ascending order on the pathname field. Files described in an input record which exist as sockets in the file hierarchy are not processable. If a file is described in an input record has a link count greater than 1, all other links to the file must be represented in the input. Examples The following command will generate inventory records for the master inventory entries in PDS020.mi containing version fields set to 020: invcutter -v 020 < PDS020.mi Return Values An exit status of 0 is returned if all goes well. An exit status of 1 is returned if an error occurs. See Diagnostics. Diagnostics "cannot chdir to pathname (error-message)" The program cannot change directories to the pathname directory specified with the -f option. The error-message will provide additional information. "sort error, record #n" The nth input record is not in the correct sort order. All input records must be in ascending ASCII colating sequence on the pathname field. "cannot stat filename (error-message)" An error has occurred attempting to read the attributes of filename. The error-message explains exactly what happened. "pathname: illegal file type code 0140000" The file pathname is a socket. Sockets are not supported as valid file types for distribution. "unresolved nlink n: pathname" This indicates that file pathname in the master inventory is linked to n files which do not appear in the master inventory. Check inventory for validity with the program. "n unresolved hard links" This is an informational message stating how many files were detected in the input inventory which had unresolved links.

fitset(8) System Manager's Manual fitset(8) Name fitset - determine if subset fits on a system Syntax fitset [ -d ] [ root-path ] Description The utility is used to determine if the files in a software subset will fit on a system. Subset inventory records are read from the standard input. For each record, the space required to install the file described in that record is deducted from the available free space on the file system to which it would be installed. Only currently mounted UFS file systems are used in the computations. Space requirements for files already on the disk will be modified to account for the size of the resident copy. After all records have been read, the free space computed for all file systems is checked. If the space required to install the files would cause any file system to be more than 90% full, returns an exit status of -1. The utility uses to size all subsets before attempting to install them. The root-path argument is the pathname of the top directory for the hierarchy into which the files are going to be installed. If no root-path is specified, the directory '/' is assumed. Options -d Enable debugging. This will make print voluminous status information on standard output. This information is the initial file system statistics, the file system location of the file from each input record and the statistics for the file system after the space required to install the file has been deducted. Restrictions NFS mounts are ignored. If software would be installed to an NFS mounted directory, it is sized against the file system containing the NFS mount point. The program does not detect the use of symbolic links in paths to root-path or any of the mount points. This can cause to size a subset incorrectly if root-path is a symbolic link or a symbolic link exists in the path of any of the pathnames used with the command to mount local file systems. Examples To determine if a particular subset will fit on the system, redirect the contents of the subset inventory file into For example: fitset < /usr/etc/subsets/ULTUUCP400.inv To determine if the same subset will fit in a hierarchy rooted at the command would be: fitset /var/tmp/root < /usr/etc/subsets/ULTUUCP400.inv Diagnostics fitset: root path must be absolute A relative pathname was specified for root-path. This path must be absolute. fitset: cannot stat root-path (error message) The root-path cannot be accessed. The error message provides more information. fitset: root-path is not a directory. Either root-path is not a directory or it is a symbolic link to something which is not a directory.
