lxpsf - Translate package to a portable Unix format with a PSF.
lxpsf [options] [package_file]
Lxpsf reads the input package and writes a tar or cpio archive to std-
out, depending on the native (or encapsulated) format of the input
package. The output layout has a single leading directory named
according to the name, version, and release attributes.
The first regular file is ``PSF'', and is a Posix.7.2 software defini-
tion file containing the package metadata. Subsequent files are con-
trol data represented as files; and, the files of the distribution.
The output is designed so the swpackage(8) utility is able to form a
Posix.7.2 package from the installed output.
Currently, only RPM format is supported.
Options
-p ,--psf-only
Write only the psf file to stdout.
-A ,--psf-form1
A PSF form for RPM translation.
-A ,--psf-form2
A second PSF form for RPM translation.
-H format
Force the specified format. The choices are currently
(only) ustar.
-x ,--use-recursive-fileset
Use "file *" instead of individual file definitions in
the PSF.
-r ,--no-leading-path
use "." as the leading archive path.
-o ,--info-only
Write the INFO file for the rpm archive to stdout.
-D ,debug-level=TYPE
Always set to "link"
none
