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.

-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.

-i or -x
