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.
