NAME
       pkgmk - produce an installable package

SYNOPSIS
       pkgmk [-o] [-d device] [-r rootpath] [-b basdir] [-l limit] [-a arch]
            [-v version] [-p pstamp] [-f prototype] [variable=value . . . ]
       [pkginst]

DESCRIPTION
       pkgmk produces an installable package to be used as input to the
       pkgadd command.  The package contents will be in directory structure
       format.

       The command uses the package prototype file as input and creates a
       pkgmap 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.

       -o             Overwrites the same instance, package instance will be
                      overwritten if it already exists.

       -d             Creates the package on device.  device can be a
                      directory pathname or the identifiers for a floppy
                      disk or removable disk (for example, /dev/diskette).
                      The default device is the installation spool
                      directory.

       -r             Ignores destination paths in the prototype file.
                      Instead, uses the indicated rootpath with the source
                      pathname appended to locate objects on the source
                      machine.

       -b             Prepends the indicated basedir to locate relocatable
                      objects on the source machine.

       -l             Specifies 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 command to dynamically calculate the
                      amount of available space on the output device.
                      Useful in conjunction with pkgtrans to create package
                      with datastream format.

       -a             Overrides the architecture information provided in the
                      pkginfo file with arch.

       -v             Overrides version information provided in the pkginfo
                      file with version.

       -p             Overrides the production stamp definition in the
                      pkginfo file with pstamp.

       -f             Uses the file prototype as input to the command.  The
                      default prototype filename is [Pp]rototype.

       variable=value Places the indicated variable in the packaging
                      environment.  [See prototype(4) for definitions of
                      packaging variables.]

       pkginst        Specifies the package by its instance.  An instance
                      can be the package abbreviation or a specific instance
                      (for example, inst.1).

NOTES
       Architecture information is provided on the command line with the -a
       option or in the prototype file.  If no architecture information is
       supplied at all, the output of uname -m will be used.

       Version information is provided on the command line with the -v
       option or in the prototype file.  If no version information is
       supplied, a default based on the current date will be provided.

       Command line definitions for both architecture and version override
       the prototype definitions.
