NAME

tarsets - subset kitting command file generator  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lbin/tarsets [-d] pathname


 

OPTIONS

Enable debugging. Debug trace diagnostics are written to ts.dbg in the current directory.
 

DESCRIPTION

The tarsets command is used by the kits utility to produce software kits for use with the setld(8) utility. The tarsets command reads subset inventory records from standard input and writes a command procedure to standard output. This command procedure contains the commands required to create subset images for the subset described in the input.

The pathname argument specifies the root directory for the file hierarchy containing the files to be kitted in the subset.

All error diagnostics are written to a file named stderr in the current directory.
 

RESTRICTIONS

The output command procedure produces multiple tar files. Each tar file has a goal size of 400Kb. The command procedure is modified automatically to produce a single subset image when tarsets is called from the kits utility.
 

RETURN VALUES

The tarsets command returns an exit status of 0 unless a hard link referenced in the inventory cannot be found in the input hierarchy, in which case the status is 1.
 

ERRORS

This error indicates that path2 was deleted from the inventory after being created by the invcutter command. This is an obsolete message. It can be ignored. This is an obsolete message. It can be ignored. This is an informational message. The number j is the number of characters in the command written to the output to produce volume k.
