NAME
revck — check internal revision numbers of HP-UX files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/old/usr/bin/revck
ref_files
DESCRIPTION
revck
checks the internal revision numbers
of lists of files against reference lists.
Each
ref_file
must contain a list of absolute path names
(each beginning with
/)
and
whatstrings
(revision information strings from
what
— see
what(1)).
Path names begin in column 1 of a line,
and have a colon appended to them.
Each path name is followed by zero or more lines of
whatstrings,
one per line, each indented by at least one tab
(this is the same format in which
what
outputs its results).
For each path name,
revck
checks that the file exists, and that executing
what
on the current path name produces results identical to the
whatstrings
in the reference file.
Only the first 1024 bytes of
whatstrings
are checked.
ref_files
are usually the absolute path names of the
revlist
files shipped with
HP-UX.
Each
HP-UX
software product includes a file named
/system/product/revlist
(for example,
/system/97070A/revlist).
The
revlist
file for each product is a reference list for the
ordinary files shipped with the product, plus any
empty directories on which the product depends.
FILES
- /system/product/revlist
lists of
HP-UX
files and revision numbers
DIAGNOSTICS
revck
is silent except for reporting missing files or mismatches.
WARNINGS
revck
produces unpredictable results if a
ref_file
is not in the right format.
