NAME
       invsync - Synchronizes system inventory

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/invsync

DESCRIPTION
       The  invsync  utility creates a Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file and a Customized File Inventory (CFI) file.	These files can be
       used to preserve the customized or modified state of your system in the event of a new installation.  The MSI file contains a complete list
       of  files  installed  by the setld utility and the state of those files when they were installed.  The CFI file contains the names of those
       files installed by the setld utility that have been customized or modified since the installation.  The files listed in the  CFI  file  are
       overwritten if you perform a new installation of the operating system.

       You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility.

       The  invsync  utility calls the usync utility to create the MSI file.  After the MSI file is created, the invsync utility calls the udetect
       utility to compare the state of the files shown in the MSI file with the current state of the files installed on the  system.   If  a  file
       state differs, an entry is written to the CFI file.

       Edit  the  CFI file to remove the entries for files that you do not want to back up. The CFI file and the MSI file are written in the setld
       inventory file format. For more information, refer to the stl_inv(4) refernce page.
