This implementation 24of UFS is the Berkeley Fast File System (FFS), developed as part of the 25Berkeley UNIX distribution (BSD), and has been extended to support new 26features such as Soft Updates, journaling, and snapshots. 27 28This package provides various utilities used to manage UFS filesystems, 29including the dump(8) and restore(8) programs used to manage filesystem 30backups, the newfs(8) utility for creating new filesystems, and the fsck(8) 31utilities used to check the consistency of an existing filesystem after 32an unclean shutdown or panic. 33 34The libufs library is also provided, which allows applications to access 35UFS filesystems programmatically. 36EOD 37 38annotations { 39 set = minimal 40} 41
