58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59The
60.Nm
61utility compares the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory against a
62specification read from the standard input.
63Messages are written to the standard output for any files whose
64characteristics do not match the specifications, or which are
65missing from either the file hierarchy or the specification.
66.Pp
67The options are as follows:
68.Bl -tag -width flag
69.It Fl L
70Follow all symbolic links in the file hierarchy.
71.It Fl P
72Do not follow symbolic links in the file hierarchy, instead consider
73the symbolic link itself in any comparisons.
74This is the default.
75.It Fl U
76Modify the owner, group, permissions, and modification time of existing
77files to match the specification and create any missing directories or
78symbolic links.
79User, group and permissions must all be specified for missing directories
80to be created.
81Corrected mismatches are not considered errors.
82.It Fl c
83Print a specification for the file hierarchy to the standard output.
84.It Fl d
85Ignore everything except directory type files.
86.It Fl e
87Do not complain about files that are in the file hierarchy, but not in the
88specification.
89.It Fl i
90Indent the output 4 spaces each time a directory level is descended when
91creating a specification with the
92.Fl c
93option.
94This does not affect either the /set statements or the comment before each
95directory.
96It does however affect the comment before the close of each directory.
97.It Fl n
98Do not emit pathname comments when creating a specification.
99Normally
100a comment is emitted before each directory and before the close of that
101directory when using the
102.Fl c
103option.
104.It Fl q
105Quiet mode.
106Do not complain when a
107.Dq missing
108directory cannot be created because it already exists.
109This occurs when the directory is a symbolic link.
110.It Fl r
111Remove any files in the file hierarchy that are not described in the
112specification.
113.It Fl u
114Same as
115.Fl U
116except a status of 2 is returned if the file hierarchy did not match
117the specification.
118.It Fl w
119Make some errors non-fatal warnings.
120.It Fl x
121Do not descend below mount points in the file hierarchy.
122.It Fl f Ar file
123Read the specification from
124.Ar file ,
125instead of from the standard input.
126.Pp
127If this option is specified twice, the two specifications are compared
128to each other rather than to the file hierarchy.
129The specifications will be sorted like output generated using
130.Fl c .
131The output format in this case is somewhat remniscent of
132.Xr comm 1 ,
133having "in first spec only", "in second spec only", and "different"
134columns, prefixed by zero, one and two TAB characters respectively.
135Each entry in the "different" column occupies two lines, one from each specification.
136.It Fl K Ar keywords
137Add the specified (whitespace or comma separated)
138.Ar keywords
139to the current set of keywords.
140.It Fl k Ar keywords
141Use the ``type'' keyword plus the specified (whitespace or comma separated)
142.Ar keywords
143instead of the current set of keywords.
144.It Fl p Ar path
145Use the file hierarchy rooted in
146.Ar path ,
147instead of the current directory.
148.It Fl s Ar seed
149Display a single checksum to the standard error output that represents all
150of the files for which the keyword
151.Cm cksum
152was specified.
153The checksum is seeded with the specified value.
154.It Fl X Ar exclude-list
155The specified file contains
156.Xr fnmatch 3
157patterns matching files to be excluded from
158the specification, one to a line.
159If the pattern contains a
160.Ql \&/
161character, it will be matched against entire pathnames (relative to
162the starting directory); otherwise,
163it will be matched against basenames only.
164No comments are allowed in
165the
166.Ar exclude-list
167file.
168.El
169.Pp
170Specifications are mostly composed of ``keywords'', i.e., strings
171that specify values relating to files.
172No keywords have default values, and if a keyword has no value set, no
173checks based on it are performed.
174.Pp
175Currently supported keywords are as follows:
176.Bl -tag -width Cm
177.It Cm cksum
178The checksum of the file using the default algorithm specified by
179the
180.Xr cksum 1
181utility.
182.It Cm flags
183The file flags as a symbolic name.
184See
185.Xr chflags 1
186for information on these names.
187If no flags are to be set the string
188.Dq none
189may be used to override the current default.
190.It Cm ignore
191Ignore any file hierarchy below this file.
192.It Cm gid
193The file group as a numeric value.
194.It Cm gname
195The file group as a symbolic name.
196.It Cm md5digest
197The MD5 message digest of the file.
198.It Cm sha1digest
199The
200.Tn FIPS
201160-1
202.Pq Dq Tn SHA-1
203message digest of the file.
204.It Cm sha256digest
205The
206.Tn FIPS
207180-2
208.Pq Dq Tn SHA-256
209message digest of the file.
210.It Cm ripemd160digest
211The
212.Tn RIPEMD160
213message digest of the file.
214.It Cm mode
215The current file's permissions as a numeric (octal) or symbolic
216value.
217.It Cm nlink
218The number of hard links the file is expected to have.
219.It Cm nochange
220Make sure this file or directory exists but otherwise ignore all attributes.
221.It Cm optional
222The file is optional; do not complain about the file if it is
223not in the file hierarchy.
224.It Cm uid
225The file owner as a numeric value.
226.It Cm uname
227The file owner as a symbolic name.
228.It Cm size
229The size, in bytes, of the file.
230.It Cm link
231The file the symbolic link is expected to reference.
232.It Cm time
233The last modification time of the file, in seconds and nanoseconds.
234The value should include a period character and exactly nine digits
235after the period.
236.It Cm type
237The type of the file; may be set to any one of the following:
238.Pp
239.Bl -tag -width Cm -compact
240.It Cm block
241block special device
242.It Cm char
243character special device
244.It Cm dir

246.It Cm fifo
247fifo
248.It Cm file

250.It Cm link
251symbolic link
252.It Cm socket
253socket
254.El
255.El
256.Pp
257The default set of keywords are
258.Cm flags ,
259.Cm gid ,
260.Cm link ,
261.Cm mode ,
262.Cm nlink ,
263.Cm size ,
264.Cm time ,
265and
266.Cm uid .
267.Pp
268There are four types of lines in a specification.
269.Pp
270The first type of line sets a global value for a keyword, and consists of
271the string ``/set'' followed by whitespace, followed by sets of keyword/value
272pairs, separated by whitespace.
273Keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an equals sign
274(``=''), followed by a value, without whitespace characters.
275Once a keyword has been set, its value remains unchanged until either
276reset or unset.
277.Pp
278The second type of line unsets keywords and consists of the string
279``/unset'', followed by whitespace, followed by one or more keywords,
280separated by whitespace.
281.Pp
282The third type of line is a file specification and consists of a file
283name, followed by whitespace, followed by zero or more whitespace
284separated keyword/value pairs.
285The file name may be preceded by whitespace characters.
286The file name may contain any of the standard file name matching
287characters (``['', ``]'', ``?'' or ``*''), in which case files
288in the hierarchy will be associated with the first pattern that
289they match.
290.Pp
291Each of the keyword/value pairs consist of a keyword, followed by an
292equals sign (``=''), followed by the keyword's value, without
293whitespace characters.
294These values override, without changing, the global value of the
295corresponding keyword.
296.Pp
297All paths are relative.
298Specifying a directory will cause subsequent files to be searched
299for in that directory hierarchy.
300Which brings us to the last type of line in a specification: a line
301containing only the string
302.Dq Pa ..\&
303causes the current directory
304path to ascend one level.
305.Pp
306Empty lines and lines whose first non-whitespace character is a hash
307mark (``#'') are ignored.
308.Pp
309The
310.Nm
311utility exits with a status of 0 on success, 1 if any error occurred,
312and 2 if the file hierarchy did not match the specification.
313A status of 2 is converted to a status of 0 if the
314.Fl U
315option is used.

323.Sh EXAMPLES
324To detect system binaries that have been ``trojan horsed'', it is recommended
325that
326.Nm
327.Fl K
328.Cm sha256digest
329be run on the file systems, and a copy of the results stored on a different
330machine, or, at least, in encrypted form.
331The output file itself should be digested using the
332.Xr sha256 1
333utility.
334Then, periodically,
335.Nm
336and
337.Xr sha256 1
338should be run against the on-line specifications.
339While it is possible for the bad guys to change the on-line specifications
340to conform to their modified binaries, it is believed to be
341impractical for them to create a modified specification which has
342the same SHA-256 digest as the original.
343.Pp
344The
345.Fl d
346and
347.Fl u
348options can be used in combination to create directory hierarchies
349for distributions and other such things; the files in
350.Pa /etc/mtree
351were used to create almost all directories in this
352.Fx
353distribution.
354.Pp
355To create an
356.Pa /etc/mtree
357style BSD.*.dist file, use
358.Nm
359.Fl c
360.Fl d
361.Fl i
362.Fl n
363.Fl k
364.Cm uname,gname,mode,nochange.

375.Sh HISTORY
376The
377.Nm
378utility appeared in
379.Bx 4.3 Reno .
380The
381.Tn MD5
382digest capability was added in
383.Fx 2.1 ,
384in response to the widespread use of programs which can spoof
385.Xr cksum 1 .
386The
387.Tn SHA-1
388and
389.Tn RIPEMD160
390digests were added in
391.Fx 4.0 ,
392as new attacks have demonstrated weaknesses in
393.Tn MD5 .
394The
395.Tn SHA-256
396digest was added in
397.Fx 6.0 .
398Support for file flags was added in
399.Fx 4.0 ,
400and mostly comes from
401.Nx .
402
