How to Display Packed Files Information

Display packed files information by using the cachefspack -i command.

$ cachefspack -i[v] filename

`-i`	Specifies that you want to view information about your packed files.
`-v`	Is the verbose option.
`cached-filename-or-directory`	Specifies the name of the file or directory for which to display information.

Example—Displaying Packed Files Information

The following example shows that the doc_file file is successfully packed.

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

In the following example, the /data/abc directory contains the bin subdirectory. The bin subdirectory has three files: big, medium, and small. Although the big and small files are specified to be packed, they are not. The medium file is successfully packed.

$ cd /data/abc
$ cachefspack -i bin
.
.
.
cachefspack: file /bin/big marked packed YES, packed NO
cachefspack: file /bin/medium marked packed YES,
packed YES
cachefspack: file /bin/small marked packed YES,
packed NO
.
.
.

If you use the -iv options together, you get additional information as to whether the file or directory specified has been flushed from the cache. For example:

$ cd /data/bin
$ cachefspack -iv bin
.
.
.
cachefspack: file /bin/big marked packed YES, packed NO,
nocache YES
cachefspack: file /bin/medium marked packed YES,
packed YES, nocache NO
cachefspack: file /bin/small marked packed YES,
packed NO
nocache NO
.
.
.

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