NAME
pkgmk - produce an installable package
SYNOPSIS
pkgmk [ -o ] [ -a arch ] [ -b base_src_dir ] [ -d device
] [ -f prototype ] [ -l limit ] [ -p pstamp ] [
-r root_path ] [ -v version ] [ variable=value ... ] [
pkginst ]
DESCRIPTION
pkgmk produces an installable package to be used as input to
the pkgadd(1M) command. The package contents will be in
directory structure format.
The command uses the package prototype(4) file as input
and creates a pkgmap(4) file. The contents for each entry
in the prototype file is copied to the appropriate output
location. Information concerning the contents (checksum,
file size, modification date) is computed and stored in the
pkgmap file, along with attribute information specified in
the prototype file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-o Overwrite the same instance; package instance will be
overwritten if it already exists.
-a arch
Override the architecture information provided in the
pkginfo(4) file with arch.
-b base_src_dir
Prepend the indicated base_src_dir to locate relocat-
able objects on the source machine.
-d device
Create the package on device. device can be an abso-
lute directory pathname or the identifiers for a
floppy disk or removable disk (for example,
/dev/diskette). The default device is the installation
spool directory (/var/spool/pkg).
-f prototype
Use the file prototype as input to the command. The
default prototype filename is [Pp]rototype.
-l limit
Specify the maximum size in 512 byte blocks of the
output device as limit. By default, if the output file
is a directory or a mountable device, pkgmk will
employ the df(1M) command to dynamically calculate the

amount of available space on the output device. This
option is useful in conjunction with pkgtrans(1) to
create a package with a datastream format.
-p pstamp
Override the production stamp definition in the
pkginfo(4) file with pstamp.
-r root_path
Ignore destination paths in the prototype(4) file.
Instead, use the indicated root_path with the source
pathname appended to locate objects on the source
machine, using a comma (,) as the separator for the
path elements.
-v version
Override the version information provided in the
pkginfo(4) file with version.
variable=value
Place the indicated variable in the packaging environ-
ment. (See prototype(4) for definitions of variable
specifications.)
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
pkginst
A package designation by its instance. An instance can
be the package abbreviation or a specific instance
(for example, inst.1 or inst.2). All instances of a
package can be requested by inst.*. The asterisk char-
acter (*) is a special character to some shells and
may need to be escaped. In the C-Shell, "*" must be
surrounded by single quotes (') or preceded by a
backslash (\).
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attri-
butes:

NOTES
Architecture information is provided on the command line
with the -a option or in the prototype(4) file. If no archi-
tecture information is supplied, pkgmk uses the output of
uname -m (see uname(1)).
Version information is provided on the command line with the
-v option or in the pkginfo(4) file. If no version informa-
tion is supplied, a default based on the current date will
be provided.
Command line definitions for both architecture and version
override the prototype(4) definitions.
