NAME


shtool-mkshadow - GNU shtool create shadow tree using symlinks

SYNOPSIS


shtool mkshadow [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-a|--all] src-dir dst-dir

DESCRIPTION


This command creates a shadow tree of src-dir under dst-dir by recreating the directory
hierarchy of src-dir under dst-dir and by creating the files of src-dir by linking them
into the corresponding directories under dst-dir via symbolic links. When src-dir can be
reached via relative paths from dst-dir, relative symbolic links are used, too. This high-
level functionality is originally designed for developers to create copies of source
trees.

OPTIONS


The following command line options are available.

-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.

-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.

-a, --all
Really shadow all files and directories in src-dir. Default is to skip CVS related
files and directories, backup files, object files, etc.

EXAMPLE


# shell script
shtool mkshadow -v -a . /tmp/shadow

HISTORY


The GNU shtool mkshadow command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall
<rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later revised and taken over into GNU
shtool.
