- portable archive interchange
pax [-cdnv] [-H | -L] [-f archive] [-o options]... [-s replstr]... [pattern]...
pax -r [-cdiknuv@/] [-H | -L] [-f archive] [-o options]... [-p string]... [-s replstr]... [pattern]...
pax -w [-dituvX@/] [-H | -L] [-b blocksize] [-a] [-f archive] [-o options]... [-s replstr]... [-x format] [file]...
pax -r -w [-diklntuvX@/] [-H | -L] [-o options]... [-p string]... [-s replstr]... [file]... directory
pax reads, writes, and writes lists of the members of archive files and copies directory hierarchies. A variety of archive formats are supported. See the -x format option.
The action to be taken depends on the presence of the -r and -w options. The four combinations of -r and -w are referred to as the four modes of operation: list, read, write, and copy modes, corresponding respectively to the four forms shown in the SYNOPSIS.
In list mode, that is, when neither -r nor -w are specified, pax writes the names of the members of the archive file read from the standard input, with path names matching the specified patterns, to standard output. If a named file has extended attributes, the extended attributes are also listed. If a named file is of type directory, the file hierarchy rooted at that file is listed as well.
In read mode, that is, when -r is specified, but -w is not, pax extracts the members of the archive file read from the standard input, with path names matching the specified patterns. If an extracted file is of type directory, the file hierarchy rooted at that file is extracted as well. The extracted files are created performing path name resolution with the directory in which pax was invoked as the current working directory.
If an attempt is made to extract a directory when the directory already exists, this is not considered an error. If an attempt is made to extract a FIFO when the FIFO already exists, this is not considered an error.
The ownership, access and modification times, and file mode of the restored files are discussed under the -p option.
In write mode, that is, when -w is specified, but -r is not, pax writes the contents of the file operands to the standard output in an archive format. If no file operands are specified, a list of files to copy, one per line, are read from the standard input. A file of type directory includes all of the files in the file hierarchy rooted at the file.
In copy mode, that is, when both -r and -w are specified, pax copies the file operands to the destination directory.
If no file operands are specified, a list of files to copy, one per line, are read from the standard input. A file of type directory includes all of the files in the file hierarchy rooted at the file.
The effect of the copy is as if the copied files were written to an archive file and then subsequently extracted, except that there can be hard links between the original and the copied files. If the destination directory is a subdirectory of one of the files to be copied, the results are unspecified. It is an error if directory does not exist, is not writable by the user, or is not a directory.
In read or copy modes, if intermediate directories are necessary to extract an archive member, pax performs actions equivalent to the mkdir(2) function, called with the following arguments:
The intermediate directory used as the path argument.
The octal value of 777 or rwx (read, write, and execute permissions) as the mode argument (see chmod(1)).
If any specified pattern or file operands are not matched by at least one file or archive member, pax writes a diagnostic message to standard error for each one that did not match and exits with a non-zero exit status.
The supported archive formats are automatically detected on input. The default output archive format is tar(1).
A single archive can span multiple files. pax determines what file to read or write as the next file.
If the selected archive format supports the specification of linked files, it is an error if these files cannot be linked when the archive is extracted, except if the files to be linked are symbolic links and the system is not capable of making hard links to symbolic links. In that case, separate copies of the symbolic link are created instead. Any of the various names in the archive that represent a file can be used to select the file for extraction. For archive formats that do not store file contents with each name that causes a hard link, if the file that contains the data is not extracted during this pax session, either the data is restored from the original file, or a diagnostic message is displayed with the name of a file that can be used to extract the data. In traversing directories, pax detects infinite loops, that is, entering a previously visited directory that is an ancestor of the last file visited. When it detects an infinite loop, pax writes a diagnostic message to standard error and terminates.
The following options are supported:
Appends files to the end of the archive. This option does not work for some archive devices, such as 1/4-inch streaming tapes and 8mm tapes.
Blocks the output at a positive decimal integer number of bytes per write to the archive file. Devices and archive formats can impose restrictions on blocking. Blocking is automatically determined on input. Portable applications must not specify a blocksize value larger than 32256. Default blocking when creating archives depends on the archive format. See the -x option below.
Matches all file or archive members except those specified by the pattern or file operands.
Causes files of type directory being copied or archived or archive members of type directory being extracted or listed to match only the file or archive member itself and not the file hierarchy rooted at the file.
Specifies the path name of the input or output archive, overriding the default standard input (in list or read modes) or standard output (write mode).
If a symbolic link referencing a file of type directory is specified on the command line, pax archives the file hierarchy rooted in the file referenced by the link, using the name of the link as the root of the file hierarchy. Otherwise, if a symbolic link referencing a file of any other file type which pax can normally archive is specified on the command line, then pax archives the file referenced by the link, using the name of the link. The default behavior is to archive the symbolic link itself.
Interactively renames files or archive members. For each archive member matching a pattern operand or file matching a file operand, a prompt is written to the file /dev/tty. The prompt contains the name of the file or archive member. A line is then read from /dev/tty. If this line is blank, the file or archive member is skipped. If this line consists of a single period, the file or archive member is processed with no modification to its name. Otherwise, its name is replaced with the contents of the line. pax immediately exits with a non-zero exit status if end-of-file is encountered when reading a response or if /dev/tty cannot be opened for reading and writing.
The results of extracting a hard link to a file that has been renamed during extraction are unspecified.
Prevents the overwriting of existing files.
Links files. In copy mode, hard links are made between the source and destination file hierarchies whenever possible. If specified in conjunction with -H or -L, when a symbolic link is encountered, the hard link created in the destination file hierarchy is to the file referenced by the symbolic link. If specified when neither -H nor -L is specified, when a symbolic link is encountered, the implementation creates a hard link to the symbolic link in the source file hierarchy or copies the symbolic link to the destination.
If a symbolic link referencing a file of type directory is specified on the command line or encountered during the traversal of a file hierarchy, pax archives the file hierarchy rooted in the file referenced by the link, using the name of the link as the root of the file hierarchy. Otherwise, if a symbolic link referencing a file of any other file type which pax can normally archive is specified on the command line or encountered during the traversal of a file hierarchy, pax archives the file referenced by the link, using the name of the link. The default behavior is to archive the symbolic link itself.
Selects the first archive member that matches each pattern operand. No more than one archive member is matched for each pattern, although members of type directory still match the file hierarchy rooted at that file.
Provides information to the implementation to modify the algorithm for extracting or writing files. The value of options consists of one or more comma-separated keywords of the form:
keyword[[:]=value][,keyword[[:]=value], ...]
Some keywords apply only to certain file formats, as indicated with each description. Use of keywords that are inapplicable to the file format being processed produces undefined results.
Keywords in the options argument must be a string that would be a valid portable filename.
Keywords are not expected to be filenames, merely to follow the same character composition rules as portable filenames.
Keywords can be preceded with white space. The value field consists of zero or more characters. Within value, the application precedes any literal comma with a backslash, which is ignored, but preserves the comma as part of value. A comma as the final character, or a comma followed solely by white space as the final characters, in options is ignored. Multiple -o options can be specified. If keywords given to these multiple -o options conflict, the keywords and values appearing later in command line sequence take precedence and the earlier ones are silently ignored. The following keyword values of options are supported for the file formats as indicated:
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax format. When used in write or copy mode, pax omits from extended header records that it produces any keywords matching the string pattern. When used in read or list mode, pax ignores any keywords matching the string pattern in the extended header records. In both cases, matching is performed using the pattern matching notation. For example:
-o delete=security.*
would suppress security-related information.
When multiple -o delete=pattern options are specified, the patterns are additive. All keywords matching the specified string patterns are omitted from extended header records that pax produces.
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax format. This keyword allows user control over the name that is written into the ustar header blocks for the extended header. The name is the contents of string, after the following character substitutions have been made:
The directory name of the file, equivalent to the result of the dirname utility on the translated path name.
The filename of the file, equivalent to the result of the basename utility on the translated path name.
The process ID of the pax process.
A '%' character.
Any other '%' characters in string produce undefined results.
If no -o exthdr.name=string is specified, pax uses the following default value:
%d/PaxHeaders.%p/%f
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax format. When used in write or copy mode with the appropriate options, pax creates global extended header records with ustar header blocks that are treated as regular files by previous versions of pax. This keyword allows user control over the name that is written into the ustar header blocks for global extended header records. The name is the contents of string, after the following character substitutions have been made:
An integer that represents the sequence number of the global extended header record in the archive, starting at 1.
The process ID of the pax process.
A '%' character.
Any other '%' characters in string produce undefined results.
If no -o globexthdr.name=string is specified, pax uses the following default value:
$TMPDIR/GlobalHead.%p.%n
where $TMPDIR represents the value of the TMPDIR environment variable. If TMPDIR is not set, pax uses /tmp.
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax format. This keyword allows user control over the action pax takes upon encountering values in an extended header record that, in read or copy mode, are invalid in the destination hierarchy or, in list mode , cannot be written in the codeset and current locale of the implementation. The following are invalid values that are recognized by pax:
In read or copy mode, a filename or link name that contains character encodings invalid in the destination hierarchy. For example, the name can contain embedded NULs.
In read or copy mode, a filename or link name that is longer than the maximum allowed in the destination hierarchy, for either a path name component or the entire path name.
In list mode, any character string value (filename, link name, user name, and so on) that cannot be written in the codeset and current locale of the implementation.
The following mutually-exclusive values of the action argument are supported:
In read or copy mode, pax bypasses the file, causing no change to the destination hierarchy. In list mode, pax writes all requested valid values for the file, but its method for writing invalid values is unspecified.
In read or copy mode, pax acts as if the -i option were in effect for each file with invalid filename or link name values, allowing the user to provide a replacement name interactively. In list mode, pax behaves identically to the bypass action.
pax uses the actual UTF-8 encoding for the name when it is used in read, copy, or list mode and a filename, link name, owner name, or any other field in an extended header record cannot be translated from the pax UTF-8 codeset format to the codeset and current locale of the implementation.
In read or copy mode, pax writes the file, translating the name, regardless of whether this can overwrite an existing file with a valid name. In list mode, pax behaves identically to the bypass action.
If no -o invalid= option is specified, pax acts as if -o invalid=bypass were specified. Any overwriting of existing files that can be allowed by the -o invalid= actions are subject to permission (-p) and modification time (-u) restrictions, and are suppressed if the -k option is also specified.
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax format. In write mode, pax writes the contents of a file to the archive even when that file is merely a hard link to a file whose contents have already been written to the archive.
This keyword specifies the output format of the table of contents produced when the -v option is specified in list mode. (See List Mode Format Specifications below.) To avoid ambiguity, the listopt=format is the only or final keyword=value pair in an -o option-argument. All characters in the remainder of the option-argument are considered to be part of the format string. When multiple -o listopt=format options are specified, the format strings are considered to be a single, concatenated string, evaluated in command line order.
This keyword is applicable only to the -x pax and -x xustar formats. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes atime and mtime extended header records for each file.
In addition to these keywords, if the -x pax format is specified, any of the keywords and values, including implementation extensions, can be used in -o option-arguments, in either of two modes:
When used in write or copy mode, these keyword/value pairs are included at the beginning of the archive as typeflag g global extended header records. When used in read or list mode, these keyword/value pairs act as if they had been at the beginning of the archive as typeflag g global extended header records.
When used in write or copy mode, these keyword/value pairs are included as records at the beginning of a typeflag x extended header for each file. This is equivalent to the equal-sign form except that it creates no typeflag g global extended header records. When used in read or list mode, these keyword/value pairs act as if they were included as records at the end of each extended header. Thus, they override any global or file-specific extended header record keywords of the same names. For example, in the command:
pax -r -o " gname:=mygroup, " <archive
the group name is forced to a new value for all files read from the archive.
Specifies one or more file characteristic options (privileges). The string option-argument must be a string specifying file characteristics to be retained or discarded on extraction. The string consists of the specification characters a, e, m, o, and p. Multiple characteristics can be concatenated within the same string and multiple -p options can be specified. The meaning of the specification characters is as follows:
Does not preserve file access times.
Preserves the user ID, group ID, file mode bits, access time, and modification time.
Does not preserve file modification times.
Preserves the user ID and group ID.
Preserves the file mode bits.
In the preceding list, preserve indicates that an attribute stored in the archive is given to the extracted file, subject to the permissions of the invoking process. Otherwise, the attribute is determined as part of the normal file creation action. The access and modification times of the file is preserved unless otherwise specified with the -p option or not stored in the archive. All attributes that are not preserved are determined as part of the normal file creation action.
If neither the e nor the o specification character is specified, or the user ID and group ID are not preserved for any reason, pax does not set the setuid and setgid bits of the file mode.
If the preservation of any of these items fails for any reason, pax writes a diagnostic message to standard error. Failure to preserve these items affects the final exit status, but does not cause the extracted file to be deleted.
If file-characteristic letters in any of the string option-arguments are duplicated or conflict with each other, the ones given last take precedence. For example, if -p eme is specified, file modification times are preserved.
Reads an archive file from standard input.
Modifies file or archive member names named by pattern or file operands according to the substitution expression replstr, which is based on the ed(1) s (substitution) utility, using the regular expression syntax of regex(5). The concepts of ``address'' and ``line'' are meaningless in the context of the pax command, and must not be supplied. The format is:
-s /old/new/ [gp]
where, as in ed, old is a basic regular expression and new can contain an ampersand (&), a \n backreference, where n is a digit, or subexpression matching. The old string is also permitted to contain newlines.
Any non-null character can be used as a delimiter (/ shown here). Multiple -s expressions can be specified. The expressions are applied in the order specified, terminating with the first successful substitution. The optional trailing g is as defined in the ed command. The optional trailing p causes successful substitutions to be written to standard error. File or archive member names that substitute to the empty string are ignored when reading and writing archives.
When reading files from the file system, and if the user has the permissions required by utime() to do so, sets the access time of each file read to the access time that it had before being read by pax.
Ignores files that are older (having a less recent file modification time) than a pre-existing file or archive member with the same name.
An archive member with the same name as a file in the file system is extracted if the archive member is newer than the file.
An archive file member with the same name as a file in the file system is superseded if the file is newer than the archive member. If option -a is also specified, this is accomplished by appending to the archive. Otherwise, it is unspecified whether this is accomplished by actual replacement in the archive or by appending to the archive.
The file in the destination hierarchy is replaced by the file in the source hierarchy or by a link to the file in the source hierarchy if the file in the source hierarchy is newer.
In list mode, produces a verbose table of contents (see Standard Output). Otherwise, writes archive member path names and extended attributes to standard error (see Standard Error).
Writes files to the standard output in the specified archive format.
Specifies the output archive format. The pax utility recognizes the following formats:
The extended cpio(1) interchange format. See IEEE Std 1003.1–2001. The default blocksize for this format for character special archive files is 5120. Implementations support all blocksize values less than or equal to 32256 that are multiples of 512.
This archive format allows files with UIDs and GIDs up to 262143 to be stored in the archive. Files with UIDs and GIDs greater than this value are archived with the UID and GID of 60001.
The pax interchange format. See IEEE Std 1003.1–2001. The default blocksize for this format for character special archive files is 5120. Implementations support all blocksize values less than or equal to 32256 that are multiples of 512.
Similar to ustar. Also allows archiving and extracting files whose size is greater than 8GB; whose UID, GID, devmajor, or devminor values are greater than 2097151; whose path (including filename) is greater than 255 characters; or whose linkname is greater than 100 characters.
The extended tar(1) interchange format. See the IEEE 1003.1(1990) specifications. The default blocksize for this format for character special archive files is 10240. Implementations support all blocksize values less than or equal to 32256 that are multiples of 512.
This archive format allows files with UIDs and GIDs up to 2097151 to be stored in the archive. Files with UIDs and GIDs greater than this value are archived with the UID and GID of 60001.
Similar to ustar. Also allows archiving and extracting files whose size is greater than 8GB; whose UID, GID, devmajor, or devminor values are greater than 2097151; whose path (including filename) is greater than 255 characters; or whose linkname is greater than 100 characters. This option should not be used if the archive is to be extracted by an archiver that cannot handle the larger values.
Any attempt to append to an archive file in a format different from the existing archive format causes pax to exit immediately with a non-zero exit status.
In copy mode, if no -x format is specified, pax behaves as if -x pax were specified.
When traversing the file hierarchy specified by a path name, pax does not descend into directories that have a different device ID (st_dev, see stat(2)).
Includes extended attributes in the archive. pax does not place extended attributes in the archive by default.
When traversing the file hierarchy specified by a path name, pax descends into the attribute directory for any file with extended attributes. Extended attributes go into the archive as special files.
When this flag is used during file extraction, any extended attributes associated with a file being extracted are also extracted. Extended attribute files can only be extracted from an archive as part of a normal file extract. Attempts to explicitly extract attribute records are ignored.
Includes extended system attributes in the archive. pax does not place extended system attributes in the archive by default.
When traversing the file hierarchy specified by a path name, pax descends into the attribute directory for any file with extended attributes. Extended attributes go into the archive as special files. When this flag is used during file extraction, any extended attributes associated with a file being extracted are also extracted. Extended attribute files can only be extracted from an archive as part of a normal file extract. Attempts to explicitly extract attribute records are ignored.
Specifying more than one of the mutually-exclusive options -H and -L is not considered an error. The last option specified determines the behavior of the utility.
The options that operate on the names of files or archive members (-c, -i, -n, -s, -u and -v) interact as follows.
In read mode, the archive members are selected based on the user-specified pattern operands as modified by the -c, -n and -u options. Then, any -s and -i options modify, in that order, the names of the selected files. The -v option writes names resulting from these modifications.
In write mode, the files are selected based on the user-specified path names as modified by the -n and -u options. Then, any -s and -i options modify, in that order, the names of these selected files. The -v option writes names resulting from these modifications.
If both the -u and -n options are specified, pax does not consider a file selected unless it is newer than the file to which it is compared.
In list mode with the -o listopt=format option, the format argument is applied for each selected file. pax appends a NEWLINE to the listopt output for each selected file. The format argument is used as the format string with the following exceptions. (See printf(1) for the first five exceptions.)
A SPACE character in the format string, in any context other than a flag of a conversion specification, is treated as an ordinary character that is copied to the output.
A ' ' character in the format string is treated as a ' ' character, not as a SPACE.
In addition to the escape sequences described in the formats(5) manual page, (\\, \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v), \ddd, where ddd is a one-, two-, or three-digit octal number, is written as a byte with the numeric value specified by the octal number.
Output from the d or u conversion specifiers is not preceded or followed with BLANKs not specified by the format operand.
Output from the o conversion specifier is not preceded with zeros that are not specified by the format operand.
The sequence (keyword) can occur before a format conversion specifier. The conversion argument is defined by the value of keyword. The following keywords are supported (see IEEE Std 1003.1–2001):
Any of the Field Name entries in ustar Header Block and Octet-Oriented cpio Archive Entry. The implementation supports the cpio keywords without the leading c_ in addition to the form required by Values for cpio c_ mode Field.
Any keyword defined for the extended header in pax Extended Header.
Any keyword provided as an implementation-defined extension within the extended header defined in pax Extended Header.
For example, the sequence “%(charset)s” is the string value of the name of the character set in the extended header.
The result of the keyword conversion argument is the value from the applicable header field or extended header, without any trailing NULs.
All keyword values used as conversion arguments are translated from the UTF -8 encoding to the character set appropriate for the local file system, user database, and so on, as applicable.
An additional conversion specifier character, T, is used to specify time formats. The T conversion specifier character can be preceded by the sequence (keyword=subformat), where subformat is a date format as defined by date operands. The default keyword is mtime and the default subformat is:
%b %e %H:%M %Y
An additional conversion specifier character, M, is used to specify the file mode string as defined in ls Standard Output. If (keyword) is omitted, the mode keyword is used. For example, %.1M writes the single character corresponding to the entry type field of the ls -l command.
An additional conversion specifier character, D, is used to specify the device for block or special files, if applicable, in an implementation-defined format. If not applicable, and (keyword) is specified, then this conversion is equivalent to %(keyword)u. If not applicable, and (keyword) is omitted, then this conversion is equivalent to SPACE.
An additional conversion specifier character, F, is used to specify a path name. The F conversion character can be preceded by a sequence of comma-separated keywords:
(keyword[,keyword] ... )
The values for all the keywords that are non-null are concatenated, each separated by a '/'. The default is (path) if the keyword path is defined. Otherwise, the default is (prefix,name).
An additional conversion specifier character, L, is used to specify a symbolic link expansion. If the current file is a symbolic link, then %L expands to:
"%s -> %s", value of keyword, contents of link
Otherwise, the %L conversion specification is the equivalent of %F.
The following operands are supported:
The destination directory path name for copy mode.
A path name of a file to be copied or archived.
A pattern matching one or more path names of archive members. A pattern must conform to the pattern matching notation found on the fnmatch(5) manual page. The default, if no pattern is specified, is to select all members in the archive.
Output formats are discussed below:
In write mode, if -f is not specified, the standard output is the archive formatted according to one of the formats described below. See -x format for a list of supported formats.
In list mode, when the -o listopt=format option has been specified, the selected archive members are written to standard output using the format described above under List Mode Format Specifications. In list mode without the -o listopt=format option, the table of contents of the selected archive members are written to standard output using the following format:
"%s\n", pathname
If the -v option is specified in list mode, the table of contents of the selected archive members are written to standard output using the following formats:
For path names representing hard links to previous members of the archive:
"%s == %s\n", <ls -l listing, linkname
For all other path names:
"%s\n", <ls -l listing>
where <ls -l listing> is the format specified by the ls command with the -l option. When writing path names in this format, it is unspecified what is written for fields for which the underlying archive format does not have the correct information, although the correct number of blank-character-separated fields is written.
In list mode, standard output is not buffered more than a line at a time.
If -v is specified in read, write or copy modes, pax writes the path names it processes to the standard error output using the following format:
"%s\n", pathname
These path names are written as soon as processing is begun on the file or archive member, and are flushed to standard error. The trailing NEWLINE character, which is not buffered, is written when the file has been read or written.
If the -s option is specified, and the replacement string has a trailing p, substitutions are written to standard error in the following format:
"%s >> %s\n", <original pathname>, <new pathname>
In all operating modes of pax, optional messages of unspecified format concerning the input archive format and volume number, the number of files, blocks, volumes, and media parts as well as other diagnostic messages can be written to standard error.
In all formats, for both standard output and standard error, it is unspecified how non-printable characters in path names or link names are written.
When pax is in read mode or list mode, using the -x pax archive format, and a file name, link name, owner name, or any other field in an extended header record cannot be translated from the pax UTF-8 codeset format to the codeset and current locale of the implementation, pax writes a diagnostic message to standard error, processes the file as described for the -o invalid=option, and then processes the next file in the archive.
In read mode, the extracted output files are of the archived file type. In copy mode, the copied output files are the type of the file being copied . In either mode, existing files in the destination hierarchy are overwritten only when all permission (-p), modification time (-u), and invalid-value (-o invalid=) tests allow it. In write mode, the output file named by the -f option-argument is a file formatted according to one of the specifications in IEEE Std 1003.1–2001.
If pax cannot create a file or a link when reading an archive, or cannot find a file when writing an archive, or cannot preserve the user ID, group ID, or file mode when the -p option is specified, a diagnostic message is written to standard error and a non-zero exit status is returned, but processing continues. In the case where pax cannot create a link to a file, pax does not, by default, create a second copy of the file.
If the extraction of a file from an archive is prematurely terminated by a signal or error, pax can have only partially extracted the file or, if the -n option was not specified, can have extracted a file of the same name as that specified by the user, but which is not the file the user wanted. Additionally, the file modes of extracted directories can have additional bits from the read, write, execute mask set as well as incorrect modification and access times.
The -p (privileges) option was invented to reconcile differences between historical tar(1) and cpio(1) implementations. In particular, the two utilities use -m in diametrically opposed ways. The -p option also provides a consistent means of extending the ways in which future file attributes can be addressed, such as for enhanced security systems or high-performance files. Although it can seem complex, there are really two modes that are most commonly used:
Preserve everything. This would be used by the historical superuser, someone with all the appropriate privileges, to preserve all aspects of the files as they are recorded in the archive. The e flag is the sum of o and p, and other implementation-dependent attributes.
Preserve the file mode bits. This would be used by the user with regular privileges who wished to preserve aspects of the file other than the ownership. The file times are preserved by default, but two other flags are offered to disable these and use the time of extraction.
The one path name per line format of standard input precludes path names containing newlines. Although such path names violate the portable filename guidelines, they can exist and their presence can inhibit usage of pax within shell scripts. This problem is inherited from historical archive programs. The problem can be avoided by listing file name arguments on the command line instead of on standard input.
It is almost certain that appropriate privileges are required for pax to accomplish parts of this. Specifically, creating files of type block special or character special, restoring file access times unless the files are owned by the user (the -t option), or preserving file owner, group, and mode (the -p option) all probably require appropriate privileges.
In read mode, implementations are permitted to overwrite files when the archive has multiple members with the same name. This can fail if permissions on the first version of the file do not permit it to be overwritten.
When using the -x xustar and -x -pax archive formats, if the underlying file system reports that the file being archived contains holes, the Solaris pax utility records the presence of holes in an extended header record when the file is archived. If this extended header record is associated with a file in the archive, those holes are recreated whenever that file is extracted from the archive. See the SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE whence values in lseek(2). In all other cases, any NUL (\0) characters found in the archive is written to the file when it is extracted.
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of pax when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 231 bytes).
In write mode, the standard input is used only if no file operands are specified. It is a text file containing a list of path names, one per line, without leading or trailing blanks. In list and read modes, if -f is not specified, the standard input is an archive file. Otherwise, the standard input is not used.
The input file named by the archive option-argument, or standard input when the archive is read from there, is a file formatted according to one of the formats described below. See Extended Description. The file /dev/tty is used to write prompts and read responses.
例 1 Copying the Contents of the Current Directory
The following command:
example% pax -w -f /dev/rmt/1m .
copies the contents of the current directory to tape drive 1, medium density. This assumes historical System V device naming procedures. The historical BSD device name would be /dev/rmt9.
例 2 Copying the Directory Hierarchy
The following commands:
example% mkdir newdir example% pax -rw olddir newdir
copy the olddir directory hierarchy to newdir.
例 3 Reading an Archive Extracted Relative to the Current Directory
The following command:
example% pax -r -s ',^//*usr//*,,' -f a.pax
reads the archive a.pax, with all files rooted in /usr in the archive extracted relative to the current directory.
例 4 Overriding the Default Output Description
Using the option:
-o listopt="%M %(atime)T %(size)D %(name)s"
overrides the default output description in Standard Output and instead writes:
-rw-rw- - - Jan 12 15:53 2003 1492 /usr/foo/bar
Using the options:
-o listopt='%L\t%(size)D\n%.7' \ -o listopt='(name)s\n%(atime)T\n%T'
overrides the default output description in standard output and instead writes:
usr/foo/bar -> /tmp 1492 /usr/foo Jan 12 15:53 1991 Jan 31 15:53 2003
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of pax: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, and NLSPATH.
Determine the locale for the behaviour of ranges, equivalence classes, and multi-character collating elements used in the pattern matching expressions for the pattern operand, the basic regular expression for the -s option, and the extended regular expression defined for the yesexpr locale keyword in the LC_MESSAGES category.
Determine the path name that provides part of the default global extended header record file, as described for the -o globexthdr= keyword as described in the OPTIONS section.
Determine the timezone used to calculate date and time strings when the -v option is specified. If TZ is unset or null, an unspecified default timezone is used.
The following exit values are returned:
All files were processed successfully.
An error occurred.
A pax archive tape or file produced in the -xpax format contains a series of blocks. The physical layout of the archive is identical to the ustar format described in ustar Interchange Format. Each file archived is represented by the following sequence:
An optional header block with extended header records. This header block is of the form 27403 with a typeflag value of x or g. The extended header records is included as the data for this header block.
A header block that describes the file. Any fields in the preceding optional extended header overrides the associated fields in this header block for this file.
Zero or more blocks that contain the contents of the file.
At the end of the archive file there are two 512-byte blocks filled with binary zeroes, interpreted as an end-of-archive indicator.
The following is a schematic of an example archive with global extended header records and two actual files in pax format archive. In the example, the second file in the archive has no extended header preceding it, presumably because it has no need for extended attributes.
|
The pax header block is identical to the ustar header block described in ustar Interchange Format except that two additional typeflag values are defined:
Represents global extended header records for the following files in the archive. The format of these extended header records are as described in pax Extended Header. Each value affects all subsequent files that do not override that value in their own extended header record and until another global extended header record is reached that provides another value for the same field. The typeflag g global headers should not be used with interchange media that could suffer partial data loss in transporting the archive.
Represents extended header records for the following file in the archive (which has its own ustar header block). The format of these extended header records is as described in pax Extended Header.
For both of these types, the size field is the size of the extended header records in octets. The other fields in the header block are not meaningful to this version of pax. However, if this archive is read by pax conforming to a previous version of ISO POSIX-2:1993 Standard, the header block fields are used to create a regular file that contains the extended header records as data. Therefore, header block field values should be selected to provide reasonable file access to this regular file.
A further difference from the ustar header block is that data blocks for files of typeflag 1 (the digit one) (hard link) might be included, which means that the size field can be greater than zero. Archives created by pax -o linkdata includes these data blocks with the hard links.
A pax extended header contains values that are inappropriate for the ustar header block because of limitations in that format: fields requiring a character encoding other than that described in the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard, fields representing file attributes not described in the ustar header, and fields whose format or length do not fit the requirements of the ustar header. The values in an extended header add attributes to the specified file or files or override values in the specified header blocks, as indicated in the following list of keywords. See the description of the typeflag g header block.
An extended header consists of one or more records, each constructed as follows:
"%d %s=%s\n", length, keyword, value
The extended header records are encoded according to the ISO/IEC 10646-1: 2000 standard (UTF-8). length, BLANK, equals sign (=), and NEWLINE are limited to the portable character set, as encoded in UTF-8. keyword and value can be any UTF-8 characters. length is the decimal length of the extended header record in octets, including the trailing NEWLINE.
keyword is one of the entries from the following list or a keyword provided as an implementation extension. Keywords consisting entirely of lowercase letters, digits, and periods are reserved for future standardization. A keyword does not include an equals sign.
In the following list, the notation of file(s) or block(s) are used to acknowledge that a keyword affects the specified single file after a typeflag x extended header, but possibly multiple files after typeflag g. Any requirements in the list for pax to include a record when in write or copy mode applies only when such a record has not already been provided through the use of the -o option. When used in copy mode, pax behaves as if an archive had been created with applicable extended header records and then extracted.
The file access time for the specified files, equivalent to the value of the st_atime member of the stat structure for a file, as described by the stat(2) function. The access time (atime) is restored if the process has the appropriate privilege required to do so. The format of the value is as described in pax Extended Header File Times.
The name of the character set used to encode the data in the specified files. The entries in the following table are defined to refer to known standards; additional names can be agreed on between the originator and recipient.
|
The encoding is included in an extended header for information only; when pax is used as described in IEEE Std 1003.1-200x, it does not translate the file data into any other encoding. The BINARY entry indicates unencoded binary data. When used in write or copy mode, it is implementation-defined whether pax includes a charset extended header record for a file.
A series of characters used as a comment. All characters in the value field are ignored by pax.
The group ID of the group that owns the file, expressed as a decimal number using digits from the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard. This record overrides the gid field in the specified header blocks. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a gid extended header record for each file whose group ID is greater than 2097151 (octal 7777777).
The group of the files, formatted as a group name in the group database. This record overrides the gid and gname fields in the specified header blocks, and any gid extended header record. When used in read, copy, or list mode, pax translates the name from the UTF-8 encoding in the header record to the character set appropriate for the group database on the receiving system. If any of the UTF-8 characters cannot be translated, and if the -o invalid=UTF-8 option is not specified, the results are implementation-defined. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a gname extended header record for each file whose group name cannot be represented entirely with the letters and digits of the portable character set.
The pathname of a link being created to another file, of any type, previously archived. This record overrides the linkname field in the specified ustar header blocks. The specified ustar header block determines the type of link created. If typeflag of the specified header block is 1, it is a hard link. If typeflag is 2, it is a symbolic link and the linkpath value is the contents of the symbolic link. pax translates the name of the link (contents of the symbolic link) from the UTF-8 encoding to the character set appropriate for the local file system. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a linkpath extended header record for each link whose pathname cannot be represented entirely with the members of the portable character set other than NULL.
The pathname of a link being created to another file, of any type, previously archived. This record overrides the linkname field in the specified ustar header blocks. The specified ustar header block determines the type of link created. If typeflag of the specified header block is 1, it is a hard link. If typeflag is 2, it is a symbolic link and the linkpath value is the contents of the symbolic link. pax translates the name of the link (contents of the symbolic link) from the UTF-8 encoding to the character set appropriate for the local file system. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a linkpath extended header record for each link whose pathname cannot be represented entirely with the members of the portable character set other than NULL.
The pathname of the specified files. This record overrides the name and prefix fields in the specified header blocks. pax translates the pathname of the file from the UTF-8 encoding to the character set appropriate for the local file system. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a path extended header record for each file whose pathname cannot be represented entirely with the members of the portable character set other than NULL.
The keywords prefixed by realtime are reserved for future standardization.
The keywords prefixed by security are reserved for future standardization.
The size of the file in octets, expressed as a decimal number using digits from the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard. This record overrides the size field in the specified header blocks. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a size extended header record for each file with a size value greater than 8589934591 (octal 77777777777).
The user ID of the file owner, expressed as a decimal number using digits from the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard. This record overrides the uid field in the following header block(s). When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a uid extended header record for each file whose owner ID is greater than 2097151 (octal 7777777).
The owner of the specified files, formatted as a user name in the user database. This record overrides the uid and uname fields in the specified header blocks, and any uid extended header record. When used in read, copy, or list mode, pax translates the name from the UTF-8 encoding in the header record to the character set appropriate for the user database on the receiving system. If any of the UTF-8 characters cannot be translated, and if the -o invalid= UTF-8 option is not specified, the results are implementation-defined. When used in write or copy mode, pax includes a uname extended header record for each file whose user name cannot be represented entirely with the letters and digits of the portable character set.
If the value field is zero length, it deletes any header block field, previously entered extended header value, or global extended header value of the same name.
If a keyword in an extended header record (or in an -o option-argument) overrides or deletes a corresponding field in the ustar header block, pax ignores the contents of that header block field.
Unlike the ustar header block fields, NULLs does not delimit values; all characters within the value field are considered data for the field.
This section describes the precedence in which the various header records and fields and command line options are selected to apply to a file in the archive. When pax is used in read or list modes, it determines a file attribute in the following sequence:
If -o delete=keyword-prefix is used, the affected attributes is determined from step 7, if applicable, or ignored otherwise.
If -o keyword:= is used, the affected attributes is ignored.
If -o keyword:=value is used, the affected attribute is assigned the value.
If there is a typeflag x extended header record, the affected attribute is assigned the value. When extended header records conflict, the last one given in the header takes precedence.
If -o keyword=value is used, the affected attribute is assigned the value.
If there is a typeflag g global extended header record, the affected attribute is assigned the value. When global extended header records conflict, the last one given in the global header takes precedence.
Otherwise, the attribute is determined from the ustar header block.
pax writes an mtime record for each file in write or copy modes if the file's modification time cannot be represented exactly in the ustar header logical record described in ustar Interchange Format. This can occur if the time is out of ustar range, or if the file system of the underlying implementation supports non-integer time granularities and the time is not an integer. All of these time records are formatted as a decimal representation of the time in seconds since the Epoch. If a period (.) decimal point character is present, the digits to the right of the point represents the units of a sub-second timing granularity, where the first digit is tenths of a second and each subsequent digit is a tenth of the previous digit. In read or copy mode, pax truncates the time of a file to the greatest value that is not greater than the input header file time. In write or copy mode, pax outputs a time exactly if it can be represented exactly as a decimal number, and otherwise generates only enough digits so that the same time is recovered if the file is extracted on a system whose underlying implementation supports the same time granularity.
A ustar archive tape or file contains a series of logical records. Each logical record is a fixed-size logical record of 512 octets. Although this format can be thought of as being stored on 9-track industry-standard 12.7mm (0.5 in) magnetic tape, other types of transportable media are not excluded. Each file archived is represented by a header logical record that describes the file, followed by zero or more logical records that give the contents of the file. At the end of the archive file there are two 512-octet logical records filled with binary zeros, interpreted as an end-of-archive indicator.
The logical records can be grouped for physical I/O operations, as described under the -bblocksize and -x ustar options. Each group of logical records can be written with a single operation equivalent to the write(2) function. On magnetic tape, the result of this write is a single tape physical block. The last physical block always is the full size, so logical records after the two zero logical records can contain undefined data.
The header logical record is structured as shown in the following table. All lengths and offsets are in decimal.
表 1 ustar Header Block
|
All characters in the header logical record is represented in the coded character set of the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard. For maximum portability between implementations, names should be selected from characters represented by the portable filename character set as octets with the most significant bit zero. If an implementation supports the use of characters outside of slash and the portable filename character set in names for files, users, and groups, one or more implementation-defined encodings of these characters are provided for interchange purposes.
pax never creates filenames on the local system that cannot be accessed using the procedures described in IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. If a filename is found on the medium that would create an invalid filename, it is implementation-defined whether the data from the file is stored on the file hierarchy and under what name it is stored. pax can choose to ignore these files as long as it produces an error indicating that the file is being ignored. Each field within the header logical record is contiguous; that is, there is no padding used.
Each field within the header logical record is contiguous. There is no padding used. Each character on the archive medium is stored contiguously.
The fields magic, uname and gname are character strings, each of which is terminated by a NULL character. The fields name, linkname, and prefix are NULL-terminated character strings except when all characters in the array contain non-NULL characters including the last character. The version field is two octets containing the characters 00 (zero-zero) The typeflag contains a single character. All other fields are leading zero-filled octal numbers using digits from the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard IRV. Each numeric field is terminated by one or more SPACE of NULL characters.
Each character on the archive medium is stored contiguously. The fields magic, uname, and gname are character strings each terminated by a NULL character.
name, linkname, and prefix are NULL-terminated character strings except when all characters in the array contain non-NULL characters including the last character. The version field is two octets containing the characters 00 (zero-zero). The typeflag contains a single character. All other fields are leading zero-filled octal numbers using digits from the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV. Each numeric field is terminated by one or more spaces or NULL characters.
The name and the prefix fields produce the pathname of the file. A new pathname is formed, if prefix is not an empty string (its first character is not NULL), by concatenating prefix (up to the first NULL character), a slash character, and name; otherwise, name is used alone. In either case, name is terminated at the first NULL character. If prefix begins with a NULL character, it is ignored. In this manner, pathnames of at most 256 characters can be supported. If a pathname does not fit in the space provided, pax notifies the user of the error, and does not store any part of the file-header or data-on the medium.
The linkname field does not use the prefix to produce a pathname. As such, a linkname is limited to 100 characters. If the name does not fit in the space provided, pax notifies the user of the error, and does not attempt to store the link on the medium. The mode field provides 12 bits encoded in the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard octal digit representation. The encoded bits represent the following values in the ustar mode field:
|
When appropriate privilege is required to set one of these mode bits, and the user restoring the files from the archive does not have the appropriate privilege, the mode bits for which the user does not have appropriate privilege are ignored. Some of the mode bits in the archive format are not mentioned elsewhere in volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. If the implementation does not support those bits, they can be ignored.
The uid and gid fields are the user and group ID of the owner and group of the file, respectively.
The size field is the size of the file in octets. If the typeflag field is set to specify a file to be of type 1 (a link) or 2 (a symbolic link), the size field is specified as zero. If the typeflag field is set to specify a file of type 5 (directory), the size field is interpreted as described under the definition of that record type. No data logical records are stored for types 1, 2, or 5. If the typeflag field is set to 3 (character special file), 4 (block special file), or 6 (FIFO), the meaning of the size field is unspecified by volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x, and no data logical records is stored on the medium. Additionally, for type 6, the size field is ignored when reading. If the typeflag field is set to any other value, the number of logical records written following the header is (size+511)/512, ignoring any fraction in the result of the division.
The mtime field is the modification time of the file at the time it was archived. It is the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard representation of the octal value of the modification time obtained from the stat() function.
The chksum field is the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV representation of the octal value of the simple sum of all octets in the header logical record. Each octet in the header is treated as an unsigned value. These values are added to an unsigned integer, initialized to zero, the precision of which is not less than 17 bits. When calculating the checksum, the chksum field is treated as if it were all spaces.
The typeflag field specifies the type of file archived. If a particular implementation does not recognize the type, or the user does not have appropriate privilege to create that type, the file is extracted as if it were a regular file if the file type is defined to have a meaning for the size field that could cause data logical records to be written on the medium. If conversion to a regular file occurs, pax produces an error indicating that the conversion took place. All of the typeflag fields are coded in the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV:
Represents a regular file. For backward compatibility, a typeflag value of binary zero ('\0') should be recognized as meaning a regular file when extracting files from the archive. Archives written with this version of the archive file format create regular files with a typeflag value of the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV '0'.
Represents a file linked to another file, of any type, previously archived. Such files are identified by each file having the same device and file serial number. The linked-to name is specified in the linkname field with a NULL-character terminator if it is less than 100 octets in length.
Represents a symbolic link. The contents of the symbolic link are stored in the linkname field.
Represents character special files and block special files respectively. In this case the devmajor and devminor fields contain information defining the device, the format of which is unspecified by volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. Implementations can map the device specifications to their own local specification or can ignore the entry.
Specifies a directory or subdirectory. On systems where disk allocation is performed on a directory basis, the size field contain the maximum number of octets (which can be rounded to the nearest disk block allocation unit) that the directory can hold. A size field of zero indicates no such limiting. Systems that do not support limiting in this manner should ignore the size field.
Specifies a FIFO special file. The archiving of a FIFO file archives the existence of this file and not its contents.
Reserved to represent a file to which an implementation has associated some high- performance attribute. Implementations without such extensions should treat this file as a regular file (type 0).
The letters A through Z inclusive are reserved for custom implementations. All other values are reserved for future versions of IEEE Std 1003.1-200x.
A Solaris extension to pax extended header keywords. Specifies the major device number of the file.
When used in write or copy mode and the xustar or pax format (see -x format) was specified, pax includes a SUN.devmajor extended header record for each file whose major device number is too large to fit in 8 octets.
A Solaris extension to pax extended header keywords. Specifies the minor device number of the file.
When used in write or copy mode and the xustar or pax format (see -x format) is specified, pax includes a SUN.devminor extended header record for each file whose minor device number is too large to fit in 8 octets.
A Solaris extension to pax extended header keywords. Specifies the data and hole pairs for a sparse file.
In write or copy modes and when the xustar or pax format (see -x format) is specified, pax includes a SUN.holesdate extended header record if the underlying file system supports the detection of files with holes (see fpathconf(2)) and reports that there is at least one hole in the file being archived. value consists of two or more consecutive entries of the following form:
SPACEdata_offsetSPACEhole_offset
where the data and hole offsets are the long values returned by passing SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE to lseek(2), respectively. For example, the following entry is an example of the SUN.holesdata entry in the extended header for a file with data offsets at bytes 0, 24576, and 49152, and hole offsets at bytes 8192, 32768, and 49159: 49 SUN.holesdata= 0 8192 24576 32768 49152 49159:
49 SUN.holesdata= 0 8192 24576 32768 49152 49159
When extracting a file from an archive in read or copy modes, if a SUN.holesdata = pair is found in the extended header for the file, then the file is restored with the holes identified using this data. For example, for the SUN.holesdata provided in the example above, bytes from 0 to 8192 are restored as data, a hole is created up to the next data position (24576), bytes 24576 to 32768 is restored as data, and so forth.
A Solaris custom typeflag implementation which specifies an xustar format (see -x format) extended header. The typeflag 'x' extended header is treated as a ustar typeflag 'x' extended header.
A Solaris custom typeflag implementation which specifies an extended attributes header. See fsattr(5).
Attempts to archive a socket using ustar interchange format produce a diagnostic message. Handling of other file types is implementation-defined.
The magic field is the specification that this archive was output in this archive format. If this field contains ustar (the five characters from the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV shown followed by NULL), the uname and gname fields contain the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV representation of the owner and group of the file, respectively (truncated to fit, if necessary). When the file is restored by a privileged, protection-preserving version of the utility, the user and group databases are scanned for these names. If found, the user and group IDs contained within these files are used rather than the values contained within the uid and gid fields.
The octet-oriented cpio archive format are a series of entries, each comprising a header that describes the file, name of the file, and contents of the file.
An archive can be recorded as a series of fixed-size blocks of octets. This blocking is be used only to make physical I/O more efficient. The last group of blocks are always at the full size.
For the octet-oriented cpio archive format, the individual entry information are in the order indicated and described by the following table: Octet-Oriented cpio Archive Entry. See the cpio.h header for additional details.

For each file in the archive, a header as defined previously written. The information in the header fields is written as streams of the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard characters interpreted as octal numbers. The octal numbers are extended to the necessary length by appending the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV zeros at the most-significant-digit end of the number. The result is written to the most-significant digit of the stream of octets first. The fields are interpreted as follows:
Identifies the archive as being a transportable archive by containing the identifying value "070707".
Contains values that uniquely identify the file within the archive (that is, no files contain the same pair of c_dev and c_ino values unless they are links to the same file). The values are determined in an unspecified manner.
Contains the file type and access permissions as defined in the following table.
Directories, FIFOs, symbolic links, and regular files are supported on a system conforming to volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x; additional values defined previously are reserved for compatibility with existing systems. Additional file types can be supported. Such files should not be written to archives intended to be transported to other systems.
|
|
Contains the user ID of the owner.
Contains the group ID of the group
Contains a number greater than or equal to the number of links in the archive referencing the file. If the -a option is used to append to a cpio archive, pax does need not to account for the files in the existing part of the archive when calculating the c_nlink values for the appended part of the archive. It does also need not alter the c_nlink values in the existing part of the archive if additional files with the same c_dev and c-ino values are appended to the archive.
Contains implementation-defined information for character or block special files.
Contains the latest time of modification of the file at the time the archive was created.
Contains the length of the pathname, including the terminating NULL character.
Contains the length of the file in octets. This is the length of the data section following the header structure.
The c_name field contains the pathname of the file. The length of this field in octets is the value of c_namesize. If a filename is found on the medium that would create an invalid pathname, it is implementation-defined whether the data from the file is stored on the file hierarchy and under what name it is stored. All characters are represented in the ISO/IEC 646: 1991 standard IRV. For maximum portability between implementations, names should be selected from characters represented by the portable filename character set as octets with the most significant bit zero. If an implementation supports the use of characters outside the portable filename character set in names for files, users, and groups, one or more implementation-defined encodings of these characters are provided for interchange purposes.pax does not create filenames on the local system that cannot be accessed by way of the procedures described in volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. If a filename is found on the medium that would create an invalid filename, it is implementation-defined whether the data from the file is stored on the local file system and under what name it is stored. pax can choose to ignore these files as long as it produces an error indicating that the file is being ignored.
Following c_name, there is c_filesize octets of data. Interpretation of such data occurs in a manner dependent on the file. If c_filesize is zero, no data is contained in c_filedata . When restoring from an archive:
If the user does not have the appropriate privilege to create a file of the specified type, pax ignores the entry and writes an error message to standard error.
Only regular files have data to be restored. Presuming a regular file meets any selection criteria that might be imposed on the format-reading utility by the user, such data is restored.
If a user does not have appropriate privilege to set a particular mode flag, the flag is ignored. Some of the mode flags in the archive format are not mentioned in volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. If the implementation does not support those flags, they can be ignored.
FIFO special files, directories, and the trailer are recorded with c_filesize equal to zero. For other special files, c_filesize is unspecified in volume IEEE Std 1003.1-200x. The header for the next file entry in the archive are written directly after the last octet of the file entry preceding it. A header denoting the filename trailer indicates the end of the archive; the contents of octets in the last block of the archive following such a header are undefined.
