Individual options are described below. OPTIONS c copy_m c copy_n Specifies the copies to be exchanged. The copy_m is exchanged with copy_n. Exactly two 'c' options must be specified. The first copy (copy_m) must have a valid archive entry. M Exarchives metadata only. This includes directories, the segment index, and removable media files. Regular files are not exarchived. If you are exarchiving a directory, you must specify the "M" option. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Other- wise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

EFAULT Argument points to an illegal address. EINTR A signal was caught during the sam_exarchive() function. ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path. ENAMETOOLONG The length of the path argument exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or the length of a path com- ponent exceeds {NAME_MAX} while {_POSIX_NO_TRUNC} is in effect. ENOENT The named file does not exist or is the null pathname. ENOLINK path points to a remote machine and the link to that machine is no longer active.
