tarsets(1)tarsets(1)NAMEtarsets - 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 sub‐
set inventory records from standard input and writes a command proce‐
dure 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 hierar‐
chy 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 400 Kb. The command procedure is modified
automatically to produce a single subset image when the tarsets utility
is called from the kits utility.
RETURN VALUES
The tarsets utility has successfully completed. A hard link referenced
in the inventory cannot be found in the input hierarchy.
ERRORS
The input record on line n is not in subset inventory format. The
input record for path1 contains a pointer to path2 in the referent
field and path2 does not appear in the inventory. This error indicates
that path2 was deleted from the inventory after being created by the
invcutter command. These are obsolete messages and can be ignored.
This is an informational message. The number j is the number of char‐
acters in the command written to the output to produce volume k.
