NAME

6       space - disk space requirement file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       space is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space require‐
10       ments for the target environment. The space file defines  space  needed
11       beyond  what  is  used by objects defined in the prototype(4) file; for
12       example, files which will be installed with the  installf(1M)  command.
13       The  space  file  should  define the maximum amount of additional space
14       that a package will require.

17       The generic format of a line in this file is:
18
19
20       pathname  blocks  inodes
21
22
23       Definitions for the fields are as follows:
24
25       pathname    Specify a directory name which may or may not be the  mount
26                   point  for  a  filesystem.  Names  that do not begin with a
27                   slash  ('/') indicate relocatable directories.
28
29
30       blocks      Define the number of disk blocks required for  installation
31                   of  the  files and directory entries contained in the path‐
32                   name (using a 512-byte block size).
33
34
35       inodes      Define the number of inodes required  for  installation  of
36                   the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.
