NAME
     mkclassproto - build a proto area for  class  action  script
     testing

SYNOPSIS
     mkclassproto -nnewproto -ssrcproto -ppkgdir -aarch [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
     mkclassproto builds a sparsely populated proto area for  use
     with  the  chkclasses  test script.  The new proto area will
     only contain the files found in the editable  classes.   The
     proto  area  may be used for either a base or compare direc-
     tory structure.

     A list of files in the editable classes is  built  from  the
     package  definition tree and architecture specified with the
     -p and -a options.  These files are copied from  the  source
     proto  and  installed  in the new proto under the same path.
     All necessary directories are created.

     If the source and destination paths in  the  prototype  file
     differ, the source path is used.

OPTIONS
     -nnewproto
               Root path of the proto area to be created.

     -ssrcproto
               Root directory of the source proto area.

     -ppkgdir   Root directory of the package definition tree.

     -aarch     Specify the architecture.  Different platforms of
               the  same  architecture are translated to the base
               architecture.  Thus sun4, sun4c, sun4m,  etc.  are
               translated to sparc.

     -v         Verbose.  Show the directories  created  and  the
               files copied.

CAVEATS
     In the ON consolidation,  several  of  the  files  contained
     within the editable classes are installed in the proto build
     area with restricted read permissions.  mkclassproto  should
     be  run as root to avoid any permission denied problems.  To
     avoid similar problems when running chkclasses ,  files  are
     given group and world read permission when they are copied.
