Displaying Packed Files Information

You might want to view information about the files that you've specified to be packed, and what their packing status is.

How to Display Packed Files Information

To display packed files information, use cachefspack -i command.

$ cachefspack -i[v] cached-filename-or-directory

Example--Displaying Packed Files Information

The following example shows that a file called doc_file is successfully packed.

$ cachefspack -i doc_file
cachefspack: file doc_file marked packed YES, packed YES

The following example shows a directory called /usr/openwin, which contains a subdirectory bin. The subdirectory bin has three files: xterm, textedit, and resize. Although the files xterm and resize are specified to be packed, they are not. The file textedit is successfully packed.

$ cd /usr/openwin
$ cachefspack -i bin
.
.
.
cachefspack: file /bin/xterm marked packed YES, packed NO
cachefspack: file /bin/textedit marked packed YES,
packed YES
cachefspack: file /bin/resize marked packed YES,
packed NO
.
.
.

If you use the -iv options in combination, you will get additional information as to whether or not the file or directory specified has been flushed from the cache. For example:

$ cd /usr/openwin
$ cachefspack -iv bin
.
.
.
cachefspack: file /bin/xterm marked packed YES, packed NO,
nocache YES
cachefspack: file /bin/textedit marked packed YES,
packed YES, nocache NO
cachefspack: file /bin/resize marked packed YES,
packed NO
nocache NO
.
.
.

The last line of the example above shows that the directory contents have not been flushed from the cache.
