Note: The archive formats bcpio, sv4cpio, sv4crc, and tar, and the flawed
archive handling during list and read operations, are extensions to the POSIX
standard.
ERRORS The server_archive command exits with one of the following system
messages:
All files were processed successfully.
or
An error occurred.
Whenever server_archive cannot create a file or a link when reading
an archive, or cannot find a file when writing an archive, or cannot
preserve the user ID, group ID, or file mode when the -p option is
specified, a diagnostic message is written to standard error, and a
non-zero exit status is returned. However, processing continues.
In the case where server_archive cannot create a link to a file, this
command will not create a second copy of the file.
If the extraction of a file from an archive is prematurely terminated
by a signal or error, server_archive may have only partially extracted
a file the user wanted. Additionally, the file modes of extracted files
and directories may have incorrect file bits, and the modification and
access times may be wrong.
If the creation of an archive is prematurely terminated by a signal or
error, server_archive may have only partially created the archive
which may violate the specific archive format specification.
If while doing a copy, server_archive detects a file is about to
overwrite itself, the file is not copied, a diagnostic message is written
to standard error and when server_archive completes, it exits with a
non-zero exit status.
