NAME

lockpack - lock packs

SYNOPSIS

lockpack [ -f ] [ pack1 ] [ pack2 ] ...

DESCRIPTION

For a single pack or a set of packs, lockpack recursively removes all the "object" files (ie with extension "o" or "ok"), except those which are used individually at linking time. The remaining files will have permissions changed to readonly.
This command should be run once a pack has been finalized, so that it will take less disk space. "Locked" packs can be considered as completely safe by end users, since they could not be changed later.
Arguments are optional and can be a list of packs names (directory) visible from the current directory.
When invoked without argument, the working directory can be any directory inside a pack.

OPTIONS

-f: By default, lockpack asks for confirmation before running. Use this option to force the action without confirmation.

DIAGNOSTICS

This command will not work for an argument which does not look like a pack. Then the following message would be displayed :
"The directory target does not look like a pack. No lock."
