space

The space(4) package information file defines disk space requirements for the target environment beyond that which is used by objects defined in the prototype(4) file--for example, files that will be dynamically created at installation time. It should define the maximum amount of additional space that a package will require.

The generic format of a line in this file is:

pathname blocks inodes

Definitions for each field are as follows:

pathname

Names a directory in which there are objects that will require additional space. The pathname can be the mount point for a filesystem. Pathnames 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 installation of the files and directory entries contained in pathname.

Here is an example of this file:

# extra space required by config data which is
# dynamically loaded onto the system
