shtool-mkshadow1
Gnu shtool create shadow tree using symlinks
Usage
shtool mkshadow
[{-v | --verbose}]
[{-t | --trace}]
[{-a | --all}]
src-dir
dst-dir
Overview
This command creates a shadow tree of src-dir under dst-dir by recreating the directory hierarchy of src-dir under dst-dir and by creating the files of src-dir by linking them into the corresponding directories under dst-dir via symbolic links. When src-dir can be reached via relative paths from dst-dir, relative symbolic links are used, too. This high-level functionality is originally designed for developers to create copies of source trees.
Options
The following command line options are available.
-
-v, --verbose -
Display some processing information.
-
-t, --trace -
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-
-a, --all -
Really shadow all files and directories in src-dir. Default is to skip CVS related files and directories, backup files, object files, etc.
Examples
# shell scriptshtool mkshadow -v -a . /tmp/shadow
