81.Sh DESCRIPTION
82The
83.Nm
84utility compares a file hierarchy against a specification,
85creates a specification for a file hierarchy, or modifies
86a specification.
87.Pp
88The default action, if not overridden by command line options,
89is to compare the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory
90against a specification read from the standard input.
91Messages are written to the standard output for any files whose
92characteristics do not match the specification, or which are
93missing from either the file hierarchy or the specification.
94.Pp
95The options are as follows:
96.Bl -tag -width Xxxexcludexfilexx
97.It Fl b
98Suppress blank lines before entering and after exiting directories.
99.It Fl C
100Convert a specification into
101a format that's easier to parse with various tools.
102The input specification is read from standard input or
103from the file given by
104.Fl f Ar spec .
105In the output, each file or directory is represented using a single line
106(which might be very long).
107The full path name
108(beginning with
109.Dq \&./ )
110is always printed as the first field;
111.Fl K ,
112.Fl k ,
113and
114.Fl R
115can be used to control which other keywords are printed;
116.Fl E
117and
118.Fl I
119can be used to control which files are printed;
120and the
121.Fl S
122option can be used to sort the output.
123.It Fl c
124Print a specification for the file hierarchy originating at
125the current working directory (or the directory provided by
126.Fl p Ar path )
127to the standard output.
128The output is in a style using relative path names.
129.It Fl D
130As per
131.Fl C ,
132except that the path name is always printed as the last field instead of
133the first.
134.It Fl d
135Ignore everything except directory type files.
136.It Fl E Ar tags
137Add the comma separated tags to the
138.Dq exclusion
139list.
140Non-directories with tags which are in the exclusion list are not printed with
141.Fl C
142and
143.Fl D .
144.It Fl e
145Don't complain about files that are in the file hierarchy, but not in the
146specification.
147.It Fl F Ar flavor
148Set the compatibility flavor of the
149.Nm
150utility.
151The
152.Ar flavor
153can be one of
154.Sy mtree ,
155.Sy freebsd9 ,
156or
157.Sy netbsd6 .
158The default is
159.Sy mtree .
160The
161.Sy freebsd9
162and
163.Sy netbsd6
164flavors attempt to preserve output compatiblity and command line option
165backward compatibility with
166.Fx 9.0
167and
168.Nx 6.0
169respectively.
170.It Fl f Ar spec
171Read the specification from
172.Ar file  ,
173instead of from the standard input.
174.Pp
175If this option is specified twice, the two specifications are compared
176to each other rather than to the file hierarchy.
177The specifications will be sorted like output generated using
178.Fl c .
179The output format in this case is somewhat reminiscent of
180.Xr comm 1 ,
181having "in first spec only", "in second spec only", and "different"
182columns, prefixed by zero, one and two TAB characters respectively.
183Each entry in the "different" column occupies two lines, one from each
184specification.
185.It Fl I Ar tags
186Add the comma separated tags to the
187.Dq inclusion
188list.
189Non-directories with tags which are in the inclusion list are printed with
190.Fl C
191and
192.Fl D .
193If no inclusion list is provided, the default is to display all files.
194.It Fl i
195If specified, set the schg and/or sappnd flags.
196.It Fl j
197Indent the output 4 spaces each time a directory level is descended when
198creating a specification with the
199.Fl c
200option.
201This does not affect either the /set statements or the comment before each
202directory.
203It does however affect the comment before the close of each directory.
204This is the equivalent of the
205.Fl i
206option in the
207.Fx
208version of
209.Nm .
210.It Fl K Ar keywords
211Add the specified (whitespace or comma separated) keywords to the current
212set of keywords.
213If
214.Ql all
215is specified, add all of the other keywords.
216.It Fl k Ar keywords
217Use the
218.Sy type
219keyword plus the specified (whitespace or comma separated)
220keywords instead of the current set of keywords.
221If
222.Ql all
223is specified, use all of the other keywords.
224If the
225.Sy type
226keyword is not desired, suppress it with
227.Fl R Ar type .
228.It Fl L
229Follow all symbolic links in the file hierarchy.
230.It Fl l
231Do
232.Dq loose
233permissions checks, in which more stringent permissions
234will match less stringent ones.
235For example, a file marked mode 0444
236will pass a check for mode 0644.
237.Dq Loose
238checks apply only to read, write and execute permissions -- in
239particular, if other bits like the sticky bit or suid/sgid bits are
240set either in the specification or the file, exact checking will be
241performed.
242This option may not be set at the same time as the
243.Fl U
244or
245.Fl u
246option.
247.It Fl M
248Permit merging of specification entries with different types,
249with the last entry taking precedence.
250.It Fl m
251If the schg and/or sappnd flags are specified, reset these flags.
252Note that this is only possible with securelevel less than 1 (i.e.,
253in single user mode or while the system is running in insecure
254mode).
255See
256.Xr init 8
257for information on security levels.
258.It Fl n
259Do not emit pathname comments when creating a specification.
260Normally
261a comment is emitted before each directory and before the close of that
262directory when using the
263.Fl c
264option.
265.It Fl N Ar dbdir
266Use the user database text file
267.Pa master.passwd
268and group database text file
269.Pa group
270from
271.Ar dbdir ,
272rather than using the results from the system's
273.Xr getpwnam 3
274and
275.Xr getgrnam 3
276(and related) library calls.
277.It Fl O Ar onlypaths
278Only include files included in this list of pathnames.
279.It Fl P
280Don't follow symbolic links in the file hierarchy, instead consider
281the symbolic link itself in any comparisons.
282This is the default.
283.It Fl p Ar path
284Use the file hierarchy rooted in
285.Ar path  ,
286instead of the current directory.
287.It Fl q
288Quiet mode.
289Do not complain when a
290.Dq missing
291directory cannot be created because it already exists.
292This occurs when the directory is a symbolic link.
293.It Fl R Ar keywords
294Remove the specified (whitespace or comma separated) keywords from the current
295set of keywords.
296If
297.Ql all
298is specified, remove all of the other keywords.
299.It Fl r
300Remove any files in the file hierarchy that are not described in the
301specification.
302.It Fl S
303When reading a specification into an internal data structure,
304sort the entries.
305Sorting will affect the order of the output produced by the
306.Fl C
307or
308.Fl D
309options, and will also affect the order in which
310missing entries are created or reported when a directory tree is checked
311against a specification.
312.Pp
313The sort order is the same as that used by the
314.Fl c
315option, which is that entries within the same directory are
316sorted in the order used by
317.Xr strcmp 3 ,
318except that entries for subdirectories sort after other entries.
319By default, if the
320.Fl S
321option is not used, entries within the same directory are collected
322together (separated from entries for other directories), but not sorted.
323.It Fl s Ar seed
324Display a single checksum to the standard error output that represents all
325of the files for which the keyword
326.Sy cksum
327was specified.
328The checksum is seeded with the specified value.
329.It Fl t
330Modify the modified time of existing files, the device type of devices, and
331symbolic link targets, to match the specification.
332.It Fl U
333Same as
334.Fl u
335except that a mismatch is not considered to be an error if it was corrected.
336.It Fl u
337Modify the owner, group, permissions, and flags of existing files,
338the device type of devices, and symbolic link targets,
339to match the specification.
340Create any missing directories, devices or symbolic links.
341User, group, and permissions must all be specified for missing directories
342to be created.
343Note that unless the
344.Fl i
345option is given, the schg and sappnd flags will not be set, even if
346specified.
347If
348.Fl m
349is given, these flags will be reset.
350Exit with a status of 0 on success,
3512 if the file hierarchy did not match the specification, and
3521 if any other error occurred.
353.It Fl W
354Don't attempt to set various file attributes such as the
355ownership, mode, flags, or time
356when creating new directories or changing existing entries.
357This option will be most useful when used in conjunction with
358.Fl U
359or
360.Fl u .
361.It Fl X Ar exclude-file
362The specified file contains
363.Xr fnmatch 3
364patterns matching files to be excluded from
365the specification, one to a line.
366If the pattern contains a
367.Ql \&/
368character, it will be matched against entire pathnames (relative to
369the starting directory); otherwise,
370it will be matched against basenames only.
371Comments are permitted in
372the
373.Ar exclude-list
374file.
375.It Fl x
376Don't descend below mount points in the file hierarchy.
377.El
378.Pp
379Specifications are mostly composed of
380.Dq keywords ,
381i.e. strings that
382that specify values relating to files.
383No keywords have default values, and if a keyword has no value set, no
384checks based on it are performed.
385.Pp
386Currently supported keywords are as follows:
387.Bl -tag -width sha384digestxx
388.It Sy cksum

574.Pp
575There are four types of lines in a specification:
576.Bl -enum
577.It
578Set global values for a keyword.
579This consists of the string
580.Ql /set
581followed by whitespace, followed by sets of keyword/value
582pairs, separated by whitespace.
583Keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an equals sign
584.Pq Ql = ,
585followed by a value, without whitespace characters.
586Once a keyword has been set, its value remains unchanged until either
587reset or unset.
588.It
589Unset global values for a keyword.
590This consists of the string
591.Ql /unset ,
592followed by whitespace, followed by one or more keywords,
593separated by whitespace.
594If
595.Ql all
596is specified, unset all of the keywords.
597.It
598A file specification, consisting of a path name, followed by whitespace,
599followed by zero or more whitespace separated keyword/value pairs.
600.Pp
601The path name may be preceded by whitespace characters.
602The path name may contain any of the standard path name matching
603characters
604.Po
605.Ql \&[ ,
606.Ql \&] ,
607.Ql \&?
608or
609.Ql *
610.Pc ,
611in which case files
612in the hierarchy will be associated with the first pattern that
613they match.
614.Nm
615uses
616.Xr strsvis 3
617(in VIS_CSTYLE format) to encode path names containing
618non-printable characters.
619Whitespace characters are encoded as
620.Ql \es
621(space),
622.Ql \et
623(tab), and
624.Ql \en
625(new line).
626.Ql #
627characters in path names are escaped by a preceding backslash
628.Ql \e
629to distinguish them from comments.
630.Pp
631Each of the keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an
632equals sign
633.Pq Ql = ,
634followed by the keyword's value, without
635whitespace characters.
636These values override, without changing, the global value of the
637corresponding keyword.
638.Pp
639The first path name entry listed must be a directory named
640.Ql \&. ,
641as this ensures that intermixing full and relative path names will
642work consistently and correctly.
643Multiple entries for a directory named
644.Ql \&.
645are permitted; the settings for the last such entry override those
646of the existing entry.
647.Pp
648A path name that contains a slash
649.Pq Ql /
650that is not the first character will be treated as a full path
651(relative to the root of the tree).
652All parent directories referenced in the path name must exist.
653The current directory path used by relative path names will be updated
654appropriately.
655Multiple entries for the same full path are permitted if the types
656are the same (unless
657.Fl M
658is given, in which case the types may differ);
659in this case the settings for the last entry take precedence.
660.Pp
661A path name that does not contain a slash will be treated as a relative path.
662Specifying a directory will cause subsequent files to be searched
663for in that directory hierarchy.
664.It
665A line containing only the string
666.Ql \&..
667which causes the current directory path (used by relative paths)
668to ascend one level.

676The
677.Nm
678utility exits with a status of 0 on success, 1 if any error occurred,
679and 2 if the file hierarchy did not match the specification.

685.Sh EXAMPLES
686To detect system binaries that have been
687.Dq trojan horsed ,
688it is recommended that
689.Nm
690be run on the file systems, and a copy of the results stored on a different
691machine, or, at least, in encrypted form.
692The seed for the
693.Fl s
694option should not be an obvious value and the final checksum should not be
695stored on-line under any circumstances!
696Then, periodically,
697.Nm
698should be run against the on-line specifications and the final checksum
699compared with the previous value.
700While it is possible for the bad guys to change the on-line specifications
701to conform to their modified binaries, it shouldn't be possible for them
702to make it produce the same final checksum value.
703If the final checksum value changes, the off-line copies of the specification
704can be used to detect which of the binaries have actually been modified.
705.Pp
706The
707.Fl d
708option can be used in combination with
709.Fl U
710or
711.Fl u
712to create directory hierarchies for, for example, distributions.
713.Sh COMPATIBILITY
714The compatibility shims provided by the
715.Fl F
716option are incomplete by design.
717Known limitations are described below.
718.Pp
719The
720.Sy freebsd9
721flavor retains the default handling of lookup failures for the
722.Sy uname
723and
724.Sy group
725keywords by replacing them with appropriate
726.Sy uid
727and
728.Sy gid
729keywords rather than failing and reporting an error.
730The related
731.Fl w
732flag is a no-op rather than causing a warning to be printed and no
733keyword to be emitted.
734The latter behavior is not emulated as it is potentially dangerous in
735the face of /set statements.
736.Pp
737The
738.Sy netbsd6
739flavor does not replicate the historical bug that reported time as
740seconds.nanoseconds without zero padding nanosecond values less than
741100000000.
