genufi(8)
NAME
  genufi - Generates a User File Inventory (UFI) file

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/genufi

DESCRIPTION
  The genufi utility creates a User File Inventory (UFI) file that contains
  the names of user files created or copied to your system after an
  installation.	 Some of these files reside on file systems that are
  overwritten during a new installation of the operating system. You must
  have superuser privileges to run the genufi utility, and you must invoke
  the genufi utility from the /usr/.smdb. directory.

  To create the UFI file, the genufi utility checks the Master
  Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file created by the invsync utility to
  determine which file systems will be overwritten by a complete
  installation.	 The genufi utility searches those file systems for user
  files and writes these entries to the UFI file.  File systems that remain
  intact during a new installation of the operating system are not searched.

  The genufi utility also filters out certain files and directories that
  would not commonly be considered for backup.	For example, some log files,
  installation files, and temporary directories do not need to be restored
  after a complete installation and are not written to the UFI file.

  The following directories are not included:

       /tmp
       /tmp /usr/.smdb.
       /usr/sys/HOST
       /var/adm/smlogs
       /var/adm/syslog.dated
       /var/rwho
       /var/tmp

  In the previous list, HOST represents the hostname of the system (such as
  /usr/sys/BLUTO) on the system named bluto.

  The following files are not included:

       */core
       */*.dummy
       */.new..
       /osf_boot
       */.profile
       */.proto..
       /var/adm/binary.errlog
       /var/adm/xdm/xdm-pid
       */vmcore
       /*vmunix

  Edit the UFI file to remove the entries for files and directories that you
  do not want to back up. The UFI file is written in the setld inventory file
  format.  Refer to the stl_inv(4) reference page for more information.
