NAME

cachefspack - pack files and file systems in the cache

SYNOPSIS

cachefspack [ -h ] [ -i | -p | -u ] [ -f packing-list ] [ -U cache-directory ] [ file. . . ]

DESCRIPTION

The cachefspack utility is used to set up and maintain files in the cache. This utility affords greater control over the cache, ensuring that the specified files will be in the cache whenever possible.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-f packing-list

Specify a file containing a list of files and directories to be packed. Options within subdirectories and files can also be specified. The format and rules governing packing-list are described on the packingrules(4) manual page. Directories are packed recursively. Symlinks that match a regular expression on a LIST command are followed. Symlinks encountered while recursively processing directories are not followed.

-h

Help. Print a brief summary of all the options.

-i

View information about the packed files.

-p

Pack the file or files specified by file. This is the default behavior.

-u

Unpack the file or files specified by file.

-U cache-directory

Unpack all files in the specified cache directory.

OPERANDS

The following operands are supported:

file

A path name of a file to be packed or unpacked.

USAGE

See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cachefspack when encountering 31 files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2 bytes).

EXAMPLES

1. The following example packs the file projects in the cache.

   % cachefspack -p projects

2. The following example packs the files projects, updates, and master_plan in the cache.

        % cachefspack -p projects updates master_plan
3. The following example unpacks the file projects from the cache.
        % cachefspack -u projects

4. The following example unpacks the files projects, updates, and master_plan from the cache.

   % cachefspack -u projects updates master_plan

5. The following example unpacks all files in the cache directory cache1.

   % cachefspack -U /cache/cache1

6. The following example illustrates the use of a packing list to specify files to be packed in the cache. The contents of lists.pkg are as follows:

IGNORE SCCS
BASE /src/junk
LIST * .c
LIST * .h

This example will pack all files in the directory /src/junk with .c and .h extensions that do not contained the string SCCS in the file's path name.

% cachefspack -f lists.pkg
