pkgproto(1) User Commands pkgproto(1)NAMEpkgproto - generate prototype file entries for input to pkgmk command
SYNOPSISpkgproto [-i] [-c class] [path1]
pkgproto [-i] [-c class] [path1=path2]...
DESCRIPTIONpkgproto scans the indicated paths and generates prototype(4) file
entries that may be used as input to the pkgmk(1) command.
If no paths are specified on the command line, standard input is
assumed to be a list of paths. If the pathname listed on the command
line is a directory, the contents of the directory is searched. How‐
ever, if input is read from stdin, a directory specified as a pathname
will not be searched.
Package commands, such as pkgproto, are largefile(5)-aware. They handle
files larger than 2 GB in the same way they handle smaller files. In
their current implementations, pkgadd(1M), pkgtrans(1) and other pack‐
age commands can process a datastream of up to 4 GB.
OPTIONS-i Ignores symbolic links and records the paths as ftype=f (a
file) versus ftype=s (symbolic link).
-c class Maps the class of all paths to class.
OPERANDS
path1 Pathname where objects are located.
path2 Pathname which should be substituted on output for path1.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Basic Usage
The following example shows a common usage of pkgproto and a partial
listing of the output produced.
example% pkgproto /bin=bin /usr/bin=usrbin /etc=etc
f none bin/sed=/bin/sed 0775 bin bin
f none bin/sh=/bin/sh 0755 bin daemon
f none bin/sort=/bin/sort 0755 bin bin
f none usrbin/sdb=/usr/bin/sdb 0775 bin bin
f none usrbin/shl=/usr/bin/shl 4755 bin bin
d none etc/master.d 0755 root daemon
f none etc/master.d/kernel=/etc/master.d/kernel 0644 root daemon
f none etc/rc=/etc/rc 0744 root daemon
Example 2 Using pkgproto in a Pipeline
The following command shows pkgproto accepting the output of the find
command.
example% find / -type d -print | pkgproto
d none / 755 root root
d none /bin 755 bin bin
d none /usr 755 root root
d none /usr/bin 775 bin bin
d none /etc 755 root root
d none /tmp 777 root root
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.

attributes(5), largefile(5)NOTES
By default, pkgproto creates symbolic link entries for any symbolic
link encountered (ftype=s). When you use the -i option, pkgproto cre‐
ates a file entry for symbolic links (ftype=f). The prototype(4) file
would have to be edited to assign such file types as v (volatile), e
(editable), or x (exclusive directory). pkgproto detects linked files.
If multiple files are linked together, the first path encountered is
considered the source of the link.
By default, pkgproto prints prototype entries on the standard output.
However, the output should be saved in a file (named Prototype or pro‐
totype, for convenience) to be used as input to the pkgmk(1) command.
