space(4) File Formats space(4)NAMEspace - disk space requirement file
DESCRIPTIONspace is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space require‐
ments for the target environment. The space file defines space needed
beyond what is used by objects defined in the prototype(4) file; for
example, files which will be installed with the installf(1M) command.
The space file should define the maximum amount of additional space
that a package will require.
The generic format of a line in this file is:
pathname blocks inodes
Definitions for the fields are as follows:
pathname Specify a directory name which may or may not be the
mount point for a filesystem.
Names that do not begin with a slash ('/') indicate
relocatable directories.
blocks Define the number of disk blocks required for installa‐
tion of the files and directory entries contained in
the pathname (using a 512-byte block size).
inodes Define the number of inodes required for installation
of the files and directory entries contained in the
pathname.
