SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       coda_replay  is  a tool for manually reintegrating operations done at a
14       disconnected client.  It provides a superset of  the  functionality  of
15       the  tape-archive  program,  tar(1).   The  key argument is a string of
16       characters containing exactly one function letter and possibly  one  or
17       more   function   modifiers.    The  filename  argument  specifies  the
18       tar/replay format file containing the operations to be replayed.
19
20       The function portion of the key is specified by one  of  the  following
21       letters:
22
23       r      Replay all operations specified in the file.
24
25       s      Strip  out  non-tar operations from the file and replay only the
26              tar operations.
27
28       t      Do not replay but simply list the operations  specified  in  the
29              file.
30
31       The  following  characters  may be used in addition to the letter which
32       selects the function desired:
33
34       v      Be verbose about the operations.
35
36       h      Be harsh in replay, i.e., abort  the  program  if  any  replayed
37              operation fails.
38
39       coda_replay can handle normal tar files since it invokes tar to perform
40       create, link, and symlink operations.  However, its main purpose is  to
41       replay  checkpoint files saved by the Coda cache manager, Venus, during
42       disconnected operation. These files may contain operations  unknown  to
43       tar: setattr, unlink, rename, mkdir, and rmdir.  These other operations
44       are encoded in the tar file by overloading the  linkflag  and  linkname
45       fields. Consult the replay.h header file for more details.

BUGS

48       · There is a limit of 100 characters imposed on filename length by tar.
49
50       · Filenames  in checkpoint files generated by Venus are all relative to
51         the enclosing volume root.
