NAME

       genufi - Generates a User File Inventory (UFI) file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/genufi

DESCRIPTION

       The genufi utility creates a User File Inventory (UFI) file that contains the names of user files created or copied to your system after an
       installation.  Some of these files reside on file systems that are overwritten during a new installation of the operating system. You  must
       have superuser privileges to run the genufi utility, and you must invoke the genufi utility from the /usr/.smdb.  directory.

       To  create the UFI file, the genufi utility checks the Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file created by the invsync utility to deter-
       mine which file systems will be overwritten by a complete installation.	The genufi utility searches those file systems for user files  and
       writes these entries to the UFI file.  File systems that remain intact during a new installation of the operating system are not searched.

       The  genufi utility also filters out certain files and directories that would not commonly be considered for backup.  For example, some log
       files, installation files, and temporary directories do not need to be restored after a complete installation and are not  written  to  the
       UFI file.

       The following directories are not included:

       /tmp /tmp /usr/.smdb.  /usr/sys/HOST /var/adm/smlogs /var/adm/syslog.dated /var/rwho /var/tmp

       In the previous list, HOST represents the hostname of the system (such as /usr/sys/BLUTO) on the system named bluto.

       The following files are not included:

       */core */*.dummy */.new..  /osf_boot */.profile */.proto..  /var/adm/binary.errlog /var/adm/xdm/xdm-pid */vmcore /*vmunix

       Edit  the  UFI  file  to remove the entries for files and directories that you do not want to back up. The UFI file is written in the setld
       inventory file format.  Refer to the stl_inv(4) reference page for more information.
