| -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 - (hyphen) which specifies
packages 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 - (hyphen) which specifies
packages 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. |
