pkgmk(1)pkgmk(1)NAMEpkgmk - produce an installable package
SYNOPSISpkgmk [-o] [-d device] [-r rootpath] [-b basedir] [-l limit] [-a arch]
[-v version] [-p pstamp] [-f prototype] [variable=value . . . ]
[pkginst]
DESCRIPTIONpkgmk produces an installable package to be used as input to the pkgadd
command. The package contents will be in directory structure format.
The command uses the package prototype file as input and creates a pkgmap
file. The contents for each entry in the prototype file is copied to the
appropriate output location. Information concerning the contents
(checksum, file size, modification date) is computed and stored in the
pkgmap file, along with attribute information specified in the prototype
file.
-o Overwrites the same instance, package instance will be
overwritten if it already exists.
-d device Creates the package on device. device can be a full
pathname to a directory or the identifiers for a floppy
disk or removable disk (for example, /dev/diskette). The
default device is the installation spool directory.
-r rootpath Ignores destination paths in the prototype file. Instead,
uses the indicated rootpath with the source pathname
appended to locate objects on the source machine.
-b basedir Prepends the indicated basedir to locate relocatable
objects on the source machine.
-l limit Specifies the maximum size in 512 byte blocks of the
output device as limit. By default, if the output file is
a directory or a mountable device, pkgmk will employ the
df command to dynamically calculate the amount of
available space on the output device. Useful in
conjunction with pkgtrans to create package with
datastream format.
-a arch Overrides the architecture information provided in the
pkginfo file with arch.
-v version Overrides version information provided in the pkginfo file
with version.
-p pstamp Overrides the production stamp definition in the pkginfo
file with pstamp.

pkgmk(1)pkgmk(1)-f prototype Uses the file prototype as input to the command. The
default name for this file is either Prototype or
prototype.
variable=value Places the indicated variable in the packaging
environment. [See prototype(4) for definitions of
packaging variables.]
pkginst Specifies the package by its instance. pkgmk will
automatically create a new instance if the version and/or
architecture is different. A user should specify only a
package abbreviation; a particular instance should not be
specified unless the user is overwriting it.
