NAME
       fitset - determines if a software subset fits on a system

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lbin/fitset [-c] [-d] [root-path]

OPTIONS
       This  switch allows a file containing inventory records to be passed in
       as an argument in addition to the standard input.  When this option  is
       specified,  fitset takes the inventory records in the file and reclaims
       the file system space and inodes	 they  take  up.   Enables  debugging.
       This  option  makes fitset print voluminous status information on stan‐
       dard output.  This information is the initial file  system  statistics,
       the  file  system  location of the file from each input record, and the
       statistics for the file system after the space required to install  the
       file has been deducted.

DESCRIPTION
       The fitset utility is used to determine if the files in a software sub‐
       set will fit on a system.

       The fitset utility reads software subset	 inventory  records  from  the
       standard	 input	and  calculates the number of inodes and the amount of
       disk space the software	subset	requires.   For	 each  record,	fitset
       deducts	one inode from the number available in the target file system.
       For the space calculation, fitset deducts the file  size	 specified  by
       each  record.   Only currently mounted file systems are included in the
       computations.

       Space requirements for files already on the disk are adjusted by	 using
       the difference between the specified size and the size of the file that
       is already present.

       A given software subset can include files that are to be	 installed  in
       several	file systems.  The fitset utility tracks inodes and file space
       for all file systems affected and returns nonzero status if the remain‐
       ing number of inodes or amount of free space for any of these file sys‐
       tems is overflowed.  If there is no overflow, fitset returns  a	status
       of zero.

       The  setld  utility  uses  fitset  to  size all software subsets before
       attempting to install them.  The root-path argument is the pathname  of
       the  top	 directory for the hierarchy into which the files are going to
       be installed. If no  root-path  is  specified,  the  directory  '/'  is
       assumed.

ERRORS
       fitset: root-path must be absolute

	      Explanation:

	      A	 relative pathname was specified for root-path.	 The path must
	      be absolute.  fitset: cannot access path (error-message)

	      Explanation:

	      The path cannot be accessed.  The error  message	provides  more
	      information.  fitset: root-path is not a directory.

	      Explanation:

	      Either  root-path is not a directory or it is a symbolic link to
	      something which is not a directory.  fitset: <warning> path is a
	      symbolic link to itself

	      Explanation:

	      The  path is a symbolic link that involves cyclic linking.  fit‐
	      set: file system path needs nnn Kbytes more to install the soft‐
	      ware  specified.	fitset: file system path needs nnn more inodes
	      to install the software specified.

	      Explanation:

	      The file system path is out of space.  The message that is  dis‐
	      played  indicates	 whether  the error is insufficient space or a
	      lack of available inodes.	  fitset:  file	 system	 path  is  not
	      writable.

	      Explanation:

	      The  mode of the file system named by path does not permit writ‐
	      ing into the file system.

EXAMPLES
       To determine if a particular software subset will fit  on  the  system,
       redirect	 the  contents of the software subset inventory file into fit‐
       set. For example: fitset < /usr/.smdb./OSFEMACS350.inv To determine  if
       the   same   software   subset  will  fit  in  a	 hierarchy  rooted  at
       /var/tmp/root,  the  command   would   be:   fitset   /var/tmp/root   <
       /usr/.smdb./OSFMANOP350.inv  To determine if a particular software sub‐
       set will fit on the system after the removal of another	software  sub‐
       set,  the  command  would  be:  fitset -c /usr/.smdb./OSFMANOS350.inv <
       /usr/.smdb./OSFMANOP350.inv
