usync(8) System Manager's Manual usync(8) NAME usync - synchronize two setld inventory files to reflect current system status SYNOPSIS /usr/lbin/usync [ -d ] file1 file2 FLAGS -d Enables debugging. This will print the pairs of pathnames being synchronized on the standard output. RESTRICTIONS The two inventory files must be sorted in ascending ASCII sequence on the pathname field. DESCRIPTION The usync command is used to achieve inventory synchronization by merg- ing two inventory files according to the pathname field of the inven- tory records. The result is directed to standard output. If the two inventory files contain records with the same pathname, the record in file2 is written and the record in file1 is ignored. If ei- ther inventory file contains a pathname not present in the other file, the record containing that pathname is written to standard output. To reflect the current system inventory, file2 should represent a later installation than file1. EXAMPLES The following command produces a synchronized inventory for two ver- sions of the OATDCB subset: /usr/lbin/usync OATDCB100.inv OATDCB120.inv ERRORS usync: file is corrupt Records in one of the inventory files are not sorted properly. FILES /usr/.smdb./*.inv Subset inventory files RELATED INFORMATION stl_inv(4) Programming Support Tools delim off usync(8)
