NAME
     pkgproto - generate prototype  file  entries  for  input  to
     pkgmk command

SYNOPSIS
     pkgproto [ -i ]  [ -c class ]  [ path1 ]

     pkgproto [ -i ]  [ -c class ]  [ path1=path2 ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     pkgproto scans the  indicated  paths  and  generates  prototype(4)
       file  entries  that  may  be  used  as input to the
     pkgmk(1) command.

     If no paths are specified  on  the  command  line,  standard
     input  is  assumed  to  be  a list of paths. If the pathname
     listed on the command line is a directory,  the contents  of
     the  directory  is searched.  However, if input is read from
     stdin, a directory specified  as  a  pathname  will  not  be
     searched.

OPTIONS
     -i    Ignores  symbolic  links  and  records  the  paths  as
           ftype=f (a file) versus ftype=s (symbolic link).

     -c class
           Maps the class of all paths to class.

OPERANDS
     path1 Pathname where objects are located.

     path2 Pathname which should be  substituted  on  output  for
           path1.

NOTES
     By default, pkgproto creates symbolic link entries  for  any
     symbolic  link  encountered  (ftype=s).  When you use the -i
     option, pkgproto creates a file  entry  for  symbolic  links
     (ftype=f).  The prototype(4) file would have to be edited to
     assign such file types as v (volatile), e (editable),  or  x
     (exclusive  directory).  pkgproto  detects  linked files. If
     multiple files are linked together, the first  path  encoun-
     tered is considered the source of the link.

     By default, pkgproto prints prototype entries on  the  stan-
     dard  output.  However, the output should be saved in a file
     (named Prototype or prototype, for convenience) to  be  used
     as input to the pkgmk(1) command.
