NAME
icepatch2calc - IcePatch2 tool to compress files and calculate
checksums.
SYNOPSIS
icepatch2calc [options] data_dir [file...]
DESCRIPTION
IcePatch2 tool to compress files and calculate checksums. Full
documentation for icepatch2calc is available online at:
"http://doc.zeroc.com/display/Ice/Using+icepatch2calc".
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Displays a help message.
-v, --version
Displays the Ice version.
-z, --compress
Normally, icepatch2calc scans the data directory and compresses
a file only if no compressed version exists, or if the
compressed version of a file has a modification time that
predates that of the uncompressed version. If you specify -z,
the tool re-scans and recompresses the entire data directory,
regardless of the time stamps on files. This option is useful if
you suspect that time stamps in the data directory may be
incorrect.
-Z, --no-compress
This option allows you to create a client-side checksum file. Do
not use this option when creating the checksum file for the
server -- the option is for creating a client-side IcePatch2.sum
file for updates of software on distribution media.
-i, --case-insensitive
This option disallows file names that differ only in case. (An
error message will be printed if icepatch2calc encounters any
files that differ in case only.) This is particularly useful for
Unix servers with Windows clients, since Windows folds the case
of file names, and therefore such files would override each
other on the Windows client.
-V, --verbose
This option prints a progress message for each file that is
compressed and for each checksum that is computed.
