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 vac-
put.
-i or -x
Read a list of files from stdin to include (-i) or
exclude (-x) from the (recursively walked) paths speci-
fied on the command-line. Only for vacput.
-u uid
Use uid for all files. Only for vacput.
-g gid
