Unpacking Files

You may need to unpack a file from the cache. For example, if you have other files or directories that are a higher priority than others, you can unpack the less critical files.

How to Unpack Files in the Cache

Unpack individual files in the cache using the -u option of the cachefspack command.

$ cachefspack -u filename

In this command,

`-u`	Specifies that you want the file or files unpacked.
`filename`	Is the name of the file or files you want unpacked in the cache. For more information about the `cachefspack` command, see the man page.

Unpack all the files in a cache directory using the -U option of the cachefspack command.

$ cachefspack -U cache_directory

In this command,

`-U`	Specifies that you want to unpack all packed files in the specified cached directory.
`cache_directory`	Is the name of the cache directory that you want unpacked from the cache. For more information about the `cachefspack` command, see the man page.

Examples

The following example shows the file /usr/openwin/bin/xlogo specified to be unpacked from the cache.

$ cachefspack -u /usr/openwin/bin/xlogo

The following example shows several files specified to be unpacked from the cache.

$ cachefspack -u /usr/openwin/bin/xview /usr/openwin/bin/xcolor

The following example uses the -U option to specify all files in a cache directory to be unpacked.

$ cachefspack -U /usr/openwin/bin

You cannot unpack a cache that does not have at least one file system mounted. With the -U option, if you specify a cache that does not contain mounted file systems, you will see output similar to the following:

$ cachefspack -U /local/mycache
cachefspack: Could not unpack cache /local/mycache, no mounted
filesystems in the cache.
