p
pax(1) pax(1)
the following 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 shall apply
only when such a record has not already been provided through the use of the
-o option. When used in
copy mode, pax shall behave as if an archive had been created with applicable extended header records
and then extracted.
atime
The file access time for the following file(s), equivalent to the value of the
st_atime member of the
stat structure for a file, as described by the
stat() function. The format of the value shall be as
described in pax Extended Header File Times.
comment
A series of characters used as a comment. All characters in the value
field shall be ignored by
pax.
gid 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 shall override the
gid field in the following header
block(s). When used in
write or copy mode,
pax shall include a gid extended header record for
each file whose group ID is greater than 2097151 (octal 7777777).
gname
The group of the file(s), formatted as a group name in the group database. This record shall override
the gid and gname fields in the following header block(s), and any gid extended header record.
When used in write or copy mode, pax shall include a gname extended header record for each
file whose group name cannot be represented in the ustar header.
linkpath
The pathname of a link being created to another file, of any type, previously archived. This record
shall override the linkname field in the following ustar header block(s). The following ustar
header block shall determine the type of link created. If typeflag of the following header block is 1, it
shall be a hard link. If typeflag is 2, it shall be a symbolic link and the
linkpath value shall be the
contents of the symbolic link. When used in
write or copy mode, pax shall include a
linkpath
extended header record for each link whose pathname cannot be represented in the ustar header.
mtime
The file modification time of the following file(s), equivalent to the value of the
st_mtime member
of the
stat structure for a file, as described in the stat() function. This record shall override the
mtime field in the following header block(s). The modification time shall be restored if the process has
the appropriate privilege required to do so. The format of the value is described in pax Extended
Header File Times.
path
The pathname of the following file(s). This record shall override the name and prefix fields in the
following header block(s). When used in
write or copy mode, pax shall include a path extended
header record for each file whose pathname cannot be represented entirely in the
ustar header.
size
The size of the file in bytes, expressed as a decimal number using digits from the ISO/IEC 646:1991
standard. This record shall override the
size field in the following header block(s). When used in
write or copy mode, pax shall include a size extended header record for each file with a size
value greater than 8589934591(octal 77777777777).
uid The user ID of the file owner, expressed as a decimal number using digits from the ISO/IEC 646:1991
standard. This record shall override the uid field in the following header block(s). When used in
write or copy mode, pax shall include a uid extended header record for each file whose owner
ID is greater than 2097151 (octal 7777777).
uname
The owner of the following file(s), formatted as a user name in the user database. This record shall
override the uid and uname fields in the following header block(s), and any uid extended header
record. When used in write or copy mode, pax shall include a uname extended header record
for each file whose user name cannot be represented entirely in the ustar header.
If the value field is zero length, it shall delete 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 a -o option-argument) overrides or deletes a correspond-
ing field in the ustar header block, pax shall ignore the contents of that header block field.
