space -- disk space requirement file

Format

pathname blocks inodes

Description

space is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space requirements for the target environment. It defines space needed beyond that which is used by objects defined in the prototype file -- for example, files which will be installed with the installf command. It should define the maximum amount of additional space which a package will require.

Each entry in space contains the following three fields:


pathname
Specifies 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
Defines the number of disk blocks required for installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname (using a 512-byte block size).

inodes
Defines the number of inodes required for installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.

Examples

# extra space required by config data which is
# dynamically loaded onto the system
data	500	1
