NAME
  invsync - Synchronizes system inventory

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/invsync

DESCRIPTION
  The invsync utility creates a Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file
  and a Customized File Inventory (CFI) file.  These files can be used to
  preserve the customized or modified state of your system in the event of a
  new installation.

    ·  The MSI file contains a complete list of files installed by the setld
       utility and the state of those files when they were installed.

    ·  The CFI file contains the names of those files installed by the setld
       utility that have been customized or modified since the installation.
       The files listed in the CFI file are overwritten if you perform a new
       installation of the operating system.

  You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility.

  The invsync utility calls the usync utility to create the MSI file.  After
  the MSI file is created, the invsync utility calls the udetect utility to
  compare the state of the files shown in the MSI file with the current state
  of the files installed on the system.	 If a file state differs, an entry is
  written to the CFI file.

  Edit the CFI file to remove the entries for files that you do not want to
  back up. The CFI file and the MSI file are written in the setld inventory
  file format. For more information, refer to the stl_inv(4) refernce page.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility.
