NAME

  usync - synchronize two setld inventory files to reflect current system
  status


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/lbin/usync [ -d ] file1 file2


FLAGS

  -d   Enables debugging.  This will print the pairs of pathnames being
       synchronized on the standard output.


RESTRICTIONS

  The two inventory files must be sorted in ascending ASCII sequence on the
  pathname field.


DESCRIPTION

  The usync command is used to achieve inventory synchronization by merging
  two inventory files according to the pathname field of the inventory
  records.  The result is directed to standard output.

  If the two inventory files contain records with the same pathname, the
  record in file2 is written and the record in file1 is ignored.  If either
  inventory file contains a pathname not present in the other file, the
  record containing that pathname is written to standard output.  To reflect
  the current system inventory, file2 should represent a later installation
  than file1.


EXAMPLES

  The following command produces a synchronized inventory for two versions of
  the OATDCB subset:

       /usr/lbin/usync OATDCB100.inv OATDCB120.inv


ERRORS

  usync: file is corrupt
       Records in one of the inventory files are not sorted properly.


FILES

  /usr/.smdb./*.inv   Subset inventory files
