22 .sp
23 .LP
24 The \fBfilesync\fR utility \fIsynchronizes\fR files between multiple computer
25 systems, typically a server and a portable computer. \fBfilesync\fR
26 synchronizes ordinary, directory or special files. Although intended for use on
27 nomadic systems, \fBfilesync\fR is useful for backup and file replication on
28 more permanently connected systems.
29 .sp
30 .LP
31 If files are synchronized between systems, the corresponding files on each of
32 the systems are \fIidentical\fR. Changing a file on one or both of the systems
33 causes the files to become different (not synchronized). In order to make the
34 files identical again, the differences between the files must be
35 \fIreconciled\fR. See \fBReconciling and Synchronizing Files\fR for specific
36 details about how \fBfilesync\fR reconciles and synchronizes files.
37 .sp
38 .LP
39 There are two forms of the \fBfilesync\fR command. The first form of
40 \fBfilesync\fR is invoked without file arguments. This form of \fBfilesync\fR
41 reconciles differences between the files and systems specified in the
42 \fB$HOME/.packingrules\fR file. \fB$HOME/.packingrules\fR is a packing rules
43 list for \fBfilesync\fR and \fBcachefspack\fR, and contains a list of files to
44 be kept synchronized. See \fBpackingrules\fR(4) and \fBcachefspack\fR(1M).
45 .sp
46 .LP
47 The second form of \fBfilesync\fR copies specific files from a directory on the
48 source system to a directory on the destination system. In addition, this form
49 of \fBfilesync\fR adds the file or files specified as arguments
50 (\fIfilename\fR) to \fB$HOME/.packingrules\fR. See \fB-s\fR and \fB-d\fR for
51 information about specifying directories on source and destination systems. See
52 \fBOPERANDS\fR for details about specifying file (\fIfilename\fR) arguments.
53 .sp
54 .LP
55 Multiple \fBfilesync\fR commands are cumulative (that is, the specified files
56 are added to the already existing packing rules file list). See \fBMultiple
57 filesync Commands\fR.
