VACGET 1
NAME
vacget, vacput - venti archive utilities
SYNOPSIS
vacget [ -vdpt ] [ -a addr ] vac:score

vacput [ -vd ] [ -i | -x ] [ -a addr ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -n name ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] path ...

DESCRIPTION
Vacget retrieves a venti archive from a venti server to the current working directory.

Vacput writes a venti archive to a venti server. The paths are walked recursively and all files and directories written to the archive. Temporary files, i.e. those with the DMTMP bit set, are skipped. Writing only changed files relative to a previously written archive is not implemented.

-d Print debug messages.

-p Try to preserve file permissions and owner/group. Only for vacget.

-v Be verbose. Prints files as they are being retrieved or written.

-t List files, do not write them. Only for vacget.

-a " address" Dial address instead of the default venti server.

-b " blocksize" Use blocks with blocksize bytes instead of the default 8192 byte blocks. Only for vacput.

-n " name" Use name as the name in the root block. Only for vacput.

-i " or " -x Read a list of files from stdin to include ( -i ) or exclude ( -x ) from the (recursively walked) paths specified on the command-line. Only for vacput.

-u " uid" Use uid for all files. Only for vacput.

-g " gid" Use gid for all files. Only for vacput.
