LSBOM(8) BSD System Manager's Manual LSBOM(8)
NAME
lsbom -- list contents of a bom file
SYNOPSIS
lsbom [-b] [-c] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-m] [-s] [-x] [--arch archVal] [-p parameters] bom ...
lsbom -h | --help
DESCRIPTION
The lsbom command interprets the contents of binary bom (bom(5)) files. For each file in a bom, lsbom prints the file path and/or requested
information.
If no options are given, lsbom will display the output formatted such that each line contains the path of the entry, its mode (octal), and
its UID/GID. There are slight differences in the output for plain files, directories, symbolic links, and device files as follows:
plain files the UID/GID is followed by the file size and a 32-bit CRC checksum of the file's contents.
symbolic links the UID/GID is followed by the size and checksum of the link path, and the link path itself.
device files the UID/GID file number is followed by the device number.
The -p option can be used to specify a user-defined format for lsbom's output. The format string consists of one or more characters described
below where each character represents a data type. Data types will be separated by tab characters, and each line will end with a newline
character. One can use this mechanism to create output similar to the ls(1) command.
The options are:
-h print full usage
-b list block devices
-c list character devices
-d list directories
-f list files
-l list symbolic links
-m print modified times (for plain files only)
-s print only the path of each file
-x suppress modes for directories and symlinks
--arch archVal when displaying plain files that represent Universal Mach-O binaries, print the size and checksum of the file contents for
the specified archVal (either "ppc", "ppc64", or "i386")
-p parameters print only some of the results Note: each option can only be used once:
c 32-bit checksum
f file name
F file name with quotes (i.e. "/mach_kernel")
g group id
G group name
m file mode (permissions)
M symbolic file mode (i.e. "dr-xr-xr-x" )
s file size
S formatted size
t mod time
T formatted mod time
u user id
U user name
/ user id/group id
? user name/group name
EXAMPLES
lsbom bomfile list the contents of bomfile
lsbom -s bomfile list only the paths of the contents of the bomfile
lsbom -f -l bomfile list the plain files and symbolic links of the bomfiles (but not directories or devices)
lsbom -p MUGsf bomfiles
list the contents of bomfile displaying only the files' modes, user name, group name, size, and filename

HISTORY
The lsbom command appeared in NeXTSTEP as a tool to browse the contents of bom files used during installation.
The -p flag appeared in Mac OS X 10.1 in an attempt to make lsbom's output more convenient for human beings.
