The setsize file

The setsize(F) file is a set information file that defines disk space requirements for the target environment. It contains information about all of the packages in the set. This file describes the disk space taken up by installed files as well as extra space needed for dynamically created files, as described in each package's space(F) file.

The generic format of a line in this file is:

pkg:pathname blocks inodes

Definitions for each field are as follows:


pkg
The short, or abbreviated, name of a package in the set. This name describes which package of the set requires the amount of space described by the rest of the data on this line in the setsize(F) file.

pathname
Names a directory in which there are objects that will be installed or that will require additional space. The name can be the mount-point for a file system. Names that do not begin with a slash (/) indicate relocatable directories.

blocks
Defines the number of 512-byte disk blocks required for installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname. (Do not include filesystem-dependent disk usage).

inodes
Defines the number of inodes required for the installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.
At installation time, the set installation calls setsizecvt(C), which reduces the setsize file for a set to a space file containing entries for only the packages that are selected. It is this resulting space file against which space checking for the set is performed.
