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. RESTRICTIONS
You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility. FILES

NAME
stl_inv - setld inventory file format DESCRIPTION
Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated inventory file. This inventory file is created by the kits(1) utility. The inventory file's name consists of the product's unique 3-letter name with the string .inv for a suf- fix. The inventory file contains one record for each subset in the kit. Each record contains the following twelve fields in order, sepa- rated by TAB characters: Flags The per-file software management flag, a 16-bit unsigned integer Size The actual number of bytes in the file Checksum The modulo-65536 checksum of the file. Hard links, directories, FIFOs, and sockets have 00000 in this field. uid The user ID of the file's owner gid The group ID of the file's owner Mode The 6-digit octal representation of the file's mode Date The file's last modification date Revision The version code of the product that includes the file Type A letter that describes the file: b Block device c Character device d Directory containing one or more files f Regular file. For regular files with a link count greater than one, see file type l. l Hard link. There are other files in the same inventory which have the same inum. The first of these files in ASCII collating sequence is listed in the referent field. p Named pipe (FIFO) s Symbolic link = UNIX domain socket Pathname The dot-relative (./) pathname of the file Link-to For file types l and s, the path to which the file is linked; for types b and c, an integer representing the major and minor num- bers of the device; for all other types, none Subset name The name of the subset containing the file RESTRICTIONS
Fields must be separated by TAB characters. RELATED INFORMATION
