| -i
| Copies the pkginfo and Pkgmap files. If the
packages category is defined as "set", for Set Installation Packages (SIPs)
[see setinfo file format], then that packages setinfo
file is also copied.
|
| -o
| Overwrites the same instance on the destination device. The
package instance is overwritten if it already exists.
|
| -n
| Creates a new instance of the package on the destination device.
If the package instance already exists on the destination device, it is left
unchanged and a new instance is created. The new instance has a
sequence number attached to distinguish it from the existing instance.
For example, assume the destination device already contained an instance of
package X. If you use pkgtrans with the
-n flag to write a new instance of package X to the
device, the existing instance of package X remains on the
destination device, and a new instance, called X.2, would be
created on the device. If you executed pkgtrans again with
the -n flag, a third instance, called X.3, would
be created.
|
| -s
| Indicates that the package should be written to Device2 as a
datastream rather than as a file system. The default behavior is to
write to Device2 in the file system format.
|
| -z Blocksize
| Indicates the blocksize to be used when transferring to cartridge
tape. Packages that have been written to tape using the -z
flag and a value not equal to 512 are always read using a blocksize of
32768. Thus, the -z flag is not applicable when reading from
cartridge tape.
|
| Device1
| Indicates the source device. Can be "-" which specifies package(s)
in datastream format read from standard input. The package or packages
on this device are translated and placed on Device2. If
Device1 is a regular file or directory, you must use the absolute
pathname, rather than a relative pathname.
|
| Device2
| Indicates the destination device. Can be "-" which specifies
package(s)written to standard output in datastream format. Translated
packages are placed on this device. If Device2 is a regular
file or directory, you must specify it as an absolute pathname, rather than a
relative pathname.
|
| Pkginst
| Specifies which package on Device1 should be
translated. The token "all" may be used to indicate all
packages. Pkginst.* can be used to indicate all
instances of a package. If no packages are defined, a prompt shows all
packages on the device and asks which to translate. If a set is being
transferred to datastream format, the Pkginst arguments should
begin with the SIP and be followed by the packages listed in the SIP's
setinfo file, in the order in which they appear in that
file.
