space -- disk space requirement file

Description

space is an ASCII file that gives information about disk space requirements for the target environment. It defines space needed beyond that which is used by objects defined in the prototype file--for example, files which will be installed with the installf command. It should define the maximum amount of additional space which a package will require.

The generic format of a line in this file is:

   pathname  blocks  inodes

Definitions for the fields are as follows:

pathname: Specifies a directory name which may or may not be the mount point for a filesystem. Names that do not begin with a slash (/) indicate relocatable directories.
blocks: Defines the number of disk blocks required for installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname (using a 512-byte block size).
inodes: Defines the number of inodes required for installation of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.
