NAME
       mkepmlist - make an epm list file from a directory.

SYNOPSIS
       mkepmlist  [  -g group ] [ -u user ] [ --prefix directory ] directory [
       ...  directory ]

DESCRIPTION
       mkepmlist recursively generates file list entries for files, links, and
       directories. The file list is send to the standard output.

       The  -g option overrides the group ownership of the files in the speci-
       fied directories with the specified group name.

       The -u option overrides the user ownership of the files in  the  speci-
       fied directories with the specified user name.

       The  --prefix  option  adds  the specified directory to the destination
       path. For example, if you installed files to "/opt/foo" and  wanted  to
       build a distribution that installed the files in "/usr/local", the fol-
       lowing command  would  generate  a  file  list  that  is  installed  in
       "/usr/local":

            mkepmlist --prefix=/usr/local /opt/foo >foo.list
