23 .SH DESCRIPTION
24 .I Rdproto
25 reads and interprets the named
26 .I proto
27 file relative to the
28 root directory
29 .IR root .
30 .PP
31 Each line of the
32 .I proto
33 file specifies a file to copy.
34 Blank lines and lines beginning with
35 .B #
36 are ignored.
37 Indentation (usually tabs) is significant,
38 with each level of indentation corresponding to a level in the file tree.
39 Fields within a line are separated by white space.
40 The first field is the last path element in the destination file tree.
41 The second field specifies the permissions.
42 The third field is the owner of the file,
43 and the fourth is the group owning the file.
44 The fifth field is the name of the file from which to copy;
45 this file is read from the current name space,
46 not the source file tree.
47 All fields except the first are optional.
48 Specifying
49 .B -
50 for permissions, owner, or group
51 causes
52 .I rdproto
53 to fetch the corresponding information
54 from the file rather than override it.
55 (This is the default behavior when the fields
56 are not present; explicitly specifying
57 .B -
58 is useful when one wishes to set, say,
59 the file owner without setting the permissions.)
60 .PP
61 Names beginning with a
62 .L $
63 are expanded as environment variables.
64 If the first file specified in a directory is
65 .LR * ,
66 all of the files in that directory are considered listed.
67 If the first file is
68 .LR + ,
69 all of the files are copied, and all subdirectories
70 are recursively considered listed.
71 All files are considered relative to
72 .IR root .
73 .PP
74 For each file named by the
75 .IR proto ,
76 .I enm
77 is called with
78 .I new
79 pointing at the name of the file (without the root prefix),
80 .I old
81 pointing at the name of the source file (with the root prefix,
82 when applicable),
83 and
84 .I Dir
85 at the desired directory information for the new file.
86 Only the
87 .BR name ,
88 .BR uid ,
89 .BR gid ,
90 .BR mode ,
91 .BR mtime ,
92 and
93 .B length
94 fields are guaranteed to be valid.
95 The argument
96 .I a
97 is the same argument passed to
98 .IR rdproto ;
99 typically it points at some extra state
100 used by the enumeration function.
101 .PP
102 When files or directories do not exist or
103 cannot be read by
104 .IR rdproto ,
105 it formats a warning message, calls
106 .IR warn ,
107 and continues processing;
108 if
109 .I warn
110 is nil,
111 .I rdproto
112 prints the warning message to standard error.
113 .PP
114 .I Rdproto
115 returns zero
116 if
117 .I proto
118 was processed, \-1 if it could not be opened.
