How to Create a Packing List

To create a packing list, open a file by using vi or the editor of your choice. The packing list file format uses the same format as the filesync command. See filesync(1) for more information.

Example--Creating a Packing List

The following example shows the contents of a packing list file.

BASE /home/ignatz
LIST plans
LIST docs
IGNORE *.ps

• The path identified with the BASE statement is the directory where you have items you wish to pack.

• The two LIST statements identify specific files within that directory to pack.

• The IGNORE statement identifies the file type of .ps, which you do not wish to pack.
