81.Sh DESCRIPTION
82The
83.Nm
84utility compares a file hierarchy against a specification,
85creates a specification for a file hierarchy, or modifies
86a specification.
87.Pp
88The default action, if not overridden by command line options,
89is to compare the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory
90against a specification read from the standard input.
91Messages are written to the standard output for any files whose
92characteristics do not match the specification, or which are
93missing from either the file hierarchy or the specification.
94.Pp
95The options are as follows:
96.Bl -tag -width Xxxexcludexfilexx
97.It Fl b
98Suppress blank lines before entering and after exiting directories.
99.It Fl C
100Convert a specification into
101a format that's easier to parse with various tools.
102The input specification is read from standard input or
103from the file given by
104.Fl f Ar spec .
105In the output, each file or directory is represented using a single line
106(which might be very long).
107The full path name
108(beginning with
109.Dq \&./ )
110is always printed as the first field;
111.Fl K ,
112.Fl k ,
113and
114.Fl R
115can be used to control which other keywords are printed;
116.Fl E
117and
118.Fl I
119can be used to control which files are printed;
120and the
121.Fl S
122option can be used to sort the output.
123.It Fl c
124Print a specification for the file hierarchy originating at
125the current working directory (or the directory provided by
126.Fl p Ar path )
127to the standard output.
128The output is in a style using relative path names.
129.It Fl D
130As per
131.Fl C ,
132except that the path name is always printed as the last field instead of
133the first.
134.It Fl d
135Ignore everything except directory type files.
136.It Fl E Ar tags
137Add the comma separated tags to the
138.Dq exclusion
139list.
140Non-directories with tags which are in the exclusion list are not printed with
141.Fl C
142and
143.Fl D .
144.It Fl e
145Don't complain about files that are in the file hierarchy, but not in the
146specification.
147.It Fl F Ar flavor
148Set the compatibility flavor of the
149.Nm
150utility.
151The
152.Ar flavor
153can be one of
154.Sy mtree ,
155.Sy freebsd9 ,
156or
157.Sy netbsd6 .
158The default is
159.Sy mtree .
160The
161.Sy freebsd9
162and
163.Sy netbsd6
164flavors attempt to preserve output compatiblity and command line option
165backward compatibility with
166.Fx 9.0
167and
168.Nx 6.0
169respectively.
170.It Fl f Ar spec
171Read the specification from
172.Ar file  ,
173instead of from the standard input.
174.Pp
175If this option is specified twice, the two specifications are compared
176to each other rather than to the file hierarchy.
177The specifications will be sorted like output generated using
178.Fl c .
179The output format in this case is somewhat reminiscent of
180.Xr comm 1 ,
181having "in first spec only", "in second spec only", and "different"
182columns, prefixed by zero, one and two TAB characters respectively.
183Each entry in the "different" column occupies two lines, one from each
184specification.
185.It Fl I Ar tags
186Add the comma separated tags to the
187.Dq inclusion
188list.
189Non-directories with tags which are in the inclusion list are printed with
190.Fl C
191and
192.Fl D .
193If no inclusion list is provided, the default is to display all files.
194.It Fl i
195If specified, set the schg and/or sappnd flags.
196.It Fl j
197Indent the output 4 spaces each time a directory level is descended when
198creating a specification with the
199.Fl c
200option.
201This does not affect either the /set statements or the comment before each
202directory.
203It does however affect the comment before the close of each directory.
204This is the equivalent of the
205.Fl i
206option in the
207.Fx
208version of
209.Nm .
210.It Fl K Ar keywords
211Add the specified (whitespace or comma separated) keywords to the current
212set of keywords.
213If
214.Ql all
215is specified, add all of the other keywords.
216.It Fl k Ar keywords
217Use the
218.Sy type
219keyword plus the specified (whitespace or comma separated)
220keywords instead of the current set of keywords.
221If
222.Ql all
223is specified, use all of the other keywords.
224If the
225.Sy type
226keyword is not desired, suppress it with
227.Fl R Ar type .
228.It Fl L
229Follow all symbolic links in the file hierarchy.
230.It Fl l
231Do
232.Dq loose
233permissions checks, in which more stringent permissions
234will match less stringent ones.
235For example, a file marked mode 0444
236will pass a check for mode 0644.
237.Dq Loose
238checks apply only to read, write and execute permissions -- in
239particular, if other bits like the sticky bit or suid/sgid bits are
240set either in the specification or the file, exact checking will be
241performed.
242This option may not be set at the same time as the
243.Fl U
244or
245.Fl u
246option.
247.It Fl M
248Permit merging of specification entries with different types,
249with the last entry taking precedence.
250.It Fl m
251If the schg and/or sappnd flags are specified, reset these flags.
252Note that this is only possible with securelevel less than 1 (i.e.,
253in single user mode or while the system is running in insecure
254mode).
255See
256.Xr init 8
257for information on security levels.
258.It Fl n
259Do not emit pathname comments when creating a specification.
260Normally
261a comment is emitted before each directory and before the close of that
262directory when using the
263.Fl c
264option.
265.It Fl N Ar dbdir
266Use the user database text file
267.Pa master.passwd
268and group database text file
269.Pa group
270from
271.Ar dbdir ,
272rather than using the results from the system's
273.Xr getpwnam 3
274and
275.Xr getgrnam 3
276(and related) library calls.
277.It Fl O Ar onlypaths
278Only include files included in this list of pathnames.
279.It Fl P
280Don't follow symbolic links in the file hierarchy, instead consider
281the symbolic link itself in any comparisons.
282This is the default.
283.It Fl p Ar path
284Use the file hierarchy rooted in
285.Ar path  ,
286instead of the current directory.
287.It Fl q
288Quiet mode.
289Do not complain when a
290.Dq missing
291directory cannot be created because it already exists.
292This occurs when the directory is a symbolic link.
293.It Fl R Ar keywords
294Remove the specified (whitespace or comma separated) keywords from the current
295set of keywords.
296If
297.Ql all
298is specified, remove all of the other keywords.
299.It Fl r
300Remove any files in the file hierarchy that are not described in the
301specification.
302Repeating the flag more than once will attempt to reset all the
303file flags via
304.Xr lchflags 2
305before attempting to remove the file in case the file was immutable.
306.It Fl S
307When reading a specification into an internal data structure,
308sort the entries.
309Sorting will affect the order of the output produced by the
310.Fl C
311or
312.Fl D
313options, and will also affect the order in which
314missing entries are created or reported when a directory tree is checked
315against a specification.
316.Pp
317The sort order is the same as that used by the
318.Fl c
319option, which is that entries within the same directory are
320sorted in the order used by
321.Xr strcmp 3 ,
322except that entries for subdirectories sort after other entries.
323By default, if the
324.Fl S
325option is not used, entries within the same directory are collected
326together (separated from entries for other directories), but not sorted.
327.It Fl s Ar seed
328Display a single checksum to the standard error output that represents all
329of the files for which the keyword
330.Sy cksum
331was specified.
332The checksum is seeded with the specified value.
333.It Fl t
334Modify the modified time of existing files, the device type of devices, and
335symbolic link targets, to match the specification.
336.It Fl U
337Same as
338.Fl u
339except that a mismatch is not considered to be an error if it was corrected.
340.It Fl u
341Modify the owner, group, permissions, and flags of existing files,
342the device type of devices, and symbolic link targets,
343to match the specification.
344Create any missing directories, devices or symbolic links.
345User, group, and permissions must all be specified for missing directories
346to be created.
347Note that unless the
348.Fl i
349option is given, the schg and sappnd flags will not be set, even if
350specified.
351If
352.Fl m
353is given, these flags will be reset.
354Exit with a status of 0 on success,
3552 if the file hierarchy did not match the specification, and
3561 if any other error occurred.
357.It Fl W
358Don't attempt to set various file attributes such as the
359ownership, mode, flags, or time
360when creating new directories or changing existing entries.
361This option will be most useful when used in conjunction with
362.Fl U
363or
364.Fl u .
365.It Fl X Ar exclude-file
366The specified file contains
367.Xr fnmatch 3
368patterns matching files to be excluded from
369the specification, one to a line.
370If the pattern contains a
371.Ql \&/
372character, it will be matched against entire pathnames (relative to
373the starting directory); otherwise,
374it will be matched against basenames only.
375Comments are permitted in
376the
377.Ar exclude-list
378file.
379.It Fl x
380Don't descend below mount points in the file hierarchy.
381.El
382.Pp
383Specifications are mostly composed of
384.Dq keywords ,
385i.e. strings that
386that specify values relating to files.
387No keywords have default values, and if a keyword has no value set, no
388checks based on it are performed.
389.Pp
390Currently supported keywords are as follows:
391.Bl -tag -width sha384digestxx

578.Pp
579There are four types of lines in a specification:
580.Bl -enum
581.It
582Set global values for a keyword.
583This consists of the string
584.Ql /set
585followed by whitespace, followed by sets of keyword/value
586pairs, separated by whitespace.
587Keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an equals sign
588.Pq Ql = ,
589followed by a value, without whitespace characters.
590Once a keyword has been set, its value remains unchanged until either
591reset or unset.
592.It
593Unset global values for a keyword.
594This consists of the string
595.Ql /unset ,
596followed by whitespace, followed by one or more keywords,
597separated by whitespace.
598If
599.Ql all
600is specified, unset all of the keywords.
601.It
602A file specification, consisting of a path name, followed by whitespace,
603followed by zero or more whitespace separated keyword/value pairs.
604.Pp
605The path name may be preceded by whitespace characters.
606The path name may contain any of the standard path name matching
607characters
608.Po
609.Ql \&[ ,
610.Ql \&] ,
611.Ql \&?
612or
613.Ql *
614.Pc ,
615in which case files
616in the hierarchy will be associated with the first pattern that
617they match.
618.Nm
619uses
620.Xr strsvis 3
621(in VIS_CSTYLE format) to encode path names containing
622non-printable characters.
623Whitespace characters are encoded as
624.Ql \es
625(space),
626.Ql \et
627(tab), and
628.Ql \en
629(new line).
630.Ql #
631characters in path names are escaped by a preceding backslash
632.Ql \e
633to distinguish them from comments.
634.Pp
635Each of the keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an
636equals sign
637.Pq Ql = ,
638followed by the keyword's value, without
639whitespace characters.
640These values override, without changing, the global value of the
641corresponding keyword.
642.Pp
643The first path name entry listed must be a directory named
644.Ql \&. ,
645as this ensures that intermixing full and relative path names will
646work consistently and correctly.
647Multiple entries for a directory named
648.Ql \&.
649are permitted; the settings for the last such entry override those
650of the existing entry.
651.Pp
652A path name that contains a slash
653.Pq Ql /
654that is not the first character will be treated as a full path
655(relative to the root of the tree).
656All parent directories referenced in the path name must exist.
657The current directory path used by relative path names will be updated
658appropriately.
659Multiple entries for the same full path are permitted if the types
660are the same (unless
661.Fl M
662is given, in which case the types may differ);
663in this case the settings for the last entry take precedence.
664.Pp
665A path name that does not contain a slash will be treated as a relative path.
666Specifying a directory will cause subsequent files to be searched
667for in that directory hierarchy.

669A line containing only the string

680The

689.Sh EXAMPLES
690To detect system binaries that have been
691.Dq trojan horsed ,
692it is recommended that
693.Nm
694be run on the file systems, and a copy of the results stored on a different
695machine, or, at least, in encrypted form.
696The seed for the
697.Fl s
698option should not be an obvious value and the final checksum should not be
699stored on-line under any circumstances!
700Then, periodically,
701.Nm
702should be run against the on-line specifications and the final checksum
703compared with the previous value.
704While it is possible for the bad guys to change the on-line specifications
705to conform to their modified binaries, it shouldn't be possible for them
706to make it produce the same final checksum value.
707If the final checksum value changes, the off-line copies of the specification
708can be used to detect which of the binaries have actually been modified.
709.Pp
710The
711.Fl d
712option can be used in combination with
713.Fl U
714or
715.Fl u
716to create directory hierarchies for, for example, distributions.
717.Sh COMPATIBILITY
718The compatibility shims provided by the
719.Fl F
720option are incomplete by design.
721Known limitations are described below.
722.Pp
723The
724.Sy freebsd9
725flavor retains the default handling of lookup failures for the
726.Sy uname
727and
728.Sy group
729keywords by replacing them with appropriate
730.Sy uid
731and
732.Sy gid
733keywords rather than failing and reporting an error.
734The related
735.Fl w
736flag is a no-op rather than causing a warning to be printed and no
737keyword to be emitted.
738The latter behavior is not emulated as it is potentially dangerous in
739the face of /set statements.
740.Pp
741The
742.Sy netbsd6
743flavor does not replicate the historical bug that reported time as
744seconds.nanoseconds without zero padding nanosecond values less than
745100000000.
