https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292284 Bug ID: 292284 Summary: Please include lsparse(1) utility as /bin/lssparse Product: Base System Version: 15.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: aurelien.couderc2002@gmail.com Please include http://svn.nrubsig.org/svn/people/gisburn/code/sparsefiles/lssparse.c in FreeBSD as /bin/lssparse This tool shows the layout of data and hole sections in so-called "sparse files" which are used by databases, HPC simulation software, virtual disks and other applications. Windows has similar functionality with C:\Windows\system32\fsutil.exe sparse queryrange 'filename' (ref https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/fsutil-sparse), but *BSD currently lacks functionality to query the layout of hole and data sections in files from the command line. The tool itself is from SUN's Solaris codebase, already part of Cygwin, MSYS2, Opensolaris distros and some Linux distributions, and a candidate for the POSIX(1) standard, as it is at least around since 2011. License is the same MIT license as X11. The code is Solaris cstyle-clean, as it came from SUN. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
