be concatenated within the same string and multiple -p options can
be specified. The meaning of the specification characters are as
follows:
a
Do not preserve file access times. By default, file access times are
preserved whenever possible.
e
Preserve everything (default mode), the user ID, group ID, file
mode bits, file access time, and file modification time.
Note: The e flag is the sum of the o and p flags.
m
Do not preserve file modification times. By default, file
modification times are preserved whenever possible.
o
Preserve the user ID and group ID.
p
Preserve the file mode bits. This specification character is
intended for a user with regular privileges who wants to preserve
all aspects of the file other than the ownership. The file times are
preserved by default, but two other flags are offered to disable
this and use the time of extraction instead.
In the preceding list, preserve indicates that an attribute stored in
the archive is given to the extracted file, subject to the permissions
of the invoking process. Otherwise, the attribute of the extracted
file is determined as part of the normal file creation action. If
neither the e nor the o specification character is specified, or the
user ID and group ID are not preserved for any reason,
server_archive will not set the S_ISUID (setuid) and S_ISGID
(setgid) bits of the file mode. If the preservation of any of these
items fails for any reason, server_archive writes a diagnostic
message to standard error.
Note: Failure to preserve these items will affect the final exit status, but
will not cause the extracted file to be deleted.
