.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mtree
|
|
.Nd format of mtree dir hierarchy files
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
format is a textual format that describes a collection of filesystem objects.
|
|
Such files are typically used to create or verify directory hierarchies.
|
|
.Ss General Format
|
|
An
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file consists of a series of lines, each providing information
|
|
about a single filesystem object.
|
|
Leading whitespace is always ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When encoding file or pathnames, any backslash character or
|
|
character outside of the 95 printable ASCII characters must be
|
|
encoded as a backslash followed by three
|
|
octal digits.
|
|
When reading mtree files, any appearance of a backslash
|
|
followed by three octal digits should be converted into the
|
|
corresponding character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line is interpreted independently as one of the following types:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Cm
|
|
.It Signature
|
|
The first line of any mtree file must begin with
|
|
.Dq #mtree .
|
|
If a file contains any full path entries, the first line should
|
|
begin with
|
|
.Dq #mtree v2.0 ,
|
|
otherwise, the first line should begin with
|
|
.Dq #mtree v1.0 .
|
|
.It Blank
|
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
.It Comment
|
|
Lines beginning with
|
|
.Cm #
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.It Special
|
|
Lines beginning with
|
|
.Cm /
|
|
are special commands that influence
|
|
the interpretation of later lines.
|
|
.It Relative
|
|
If the first whitespace-delimited word has no
|
|
.Cm /
|
|
characters,
|
|
it is the name of a file in the current directory.
|
|
Any relative entry that describes a directory changes the
|
|
current directory.
|
|
.It dot-dot
|
|
As a special case, a relative entry with the filename
|
|
.Pa ..
|
|
changes the current directory to the parent directory.
|
|
Options on dot-dot entries are always ignored.
|
|
.It Full
|
|
If the first whitespace-delimited word has a
|
|
.Cm /
|
|
character after
|
|
the first character, it is the pathname of a file relative to the
|
|
starting directory.
|
|
There can be multiple full entries describing the same file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some tools that process
|
|
.Nm
|
|
files may require that multiple lines describing the same file
|
|
occur consecutively.
|
|
It is not permitted for the same file to be mentioned using
|
|
both a relative and a full file specification.
|
|
.Ss Special commands
|
|
Two special commands are currently defined:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Cm
|
|
.It Cm /set
|
|
This command defines default values for one or more keywords.
|
|
It is followed on the same line by one or more whitespace-separated
|
|
keyword definitions.
|
|
These definitions apply to all following files that do not specify
|
|
a value for that keyword.
|
|
.It Cm /unset
|
|
This command removes any default value set by a previous
|
|
.Cm /set
|
|
command.
|
|
It is followed on the same line by one or more keywords
|
|
separated by whitespace.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Keywords
|
|
After the filename, a full or relative entry consists of zero
|
|
or more whitespace-separated keyword definitions.
|
|
Each such definitions consists of a key from the following
|
|
list immediately followed by an '=' sign
|
|
and a value.
|
|
Software programs reading mtree files should warn about
|
|
unrecognized keywords.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently supported keywords are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Cm
|
|
.It Cm cksum
|
|
The checksum of the file using the default algorithm specified by
|
|
the

|
|
The full pathname of a file whose contents should be

|
|
.It Cm flags
|
|

|
|

|
|
.Xr chflags 1
|
|
for information on these names.
|
|
If no flags are to be set the string
|
|
.Dq none
|
|
may be used to override the current default.

|
Ignore any file hierarchy below this file.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 Reno .
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn MD5
|
|
digest capability was added in
|
|
.Fx 2.1 ,
|
|
in response to the widespread use of programs which can spoof
|
|
.Xr cksum 1 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn SHA-1
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn RIPEMD160
|
|
digests were added in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ,
|
|
as new attacks have demonstrated weaknesses in
|
|
.Tn MD5 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn SHA-256
|
|
digest was added in
|
|
.Fx 6.0 .
|
|
Support for file flags was added in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ,
|
|
and mostly comes from
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq full
|
|
entry format was added by
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
implementation of mtree does not currently support
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
2.0
|
|
format.
|
|
The requirement for a
|
|
.Dq #mtree
|
|
signature line is new and not yet widely implemented.
