## Manifest File Entries

Each manifest file entry is a single line of one of the following forms, depending on the file type:

    fname D size mode acl dirmtime uid gid [xattr xcontents]*
    fname P size mode acl mtime uid gid [xattr xcontents]*
    fname S size mode acl mtime uid gid [xattr xcontents]*
    fname F size mode acl mtime uid gid contents [xattr xcontents]*
    fname L size mode acl lnmtime uid gid dest [xattr xcontents]*
    fname B size mode acl mtime uid gid devnode [xattr xcontents]*
    fname C size mode acl mtime uid gid devnode [xattr xcontents]*

Each entry begins with fname, which is the name of the file. To prevent parsing problems that are caused by special characters embedded in file names, file names are encoded as described in Quoting Syntax.

Subsequent fields represent the following file attributes:

type

  Type of file. Possible values are as follows:

  - `B` for a block device node

  - `C` for a character device node

  - `D` for a directory

  - `F` for a file

  - `L` for a symbolic link

  - `P` for a pipe

  - `S` for a socket

size

  File size in bytes.

mode

  Octal number that represents the permissions of the file.

acl

  ACL attributes for the file. For a file with ACL attributes, this field contains the output from `acltotext()`.

uid

  Numerical user ID of the owner of this entry.

gid

  Numerical group ID of the owner of this entry.

dirmtime, lnmtime, mtime

  Last modification time, in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970, for directories, links, and other files, respectively.

contents

  Checksum value of the file. This attribute is only specified for regular files. If you turn off context checking or if checksums cannot be computed, the value of this field is `-`.

dest

  Destination of a symbolic link.

devnode

  Value of the device node. This attribute is for character device files and block device files only.

[xattr xcontents]*

  Zero or more checksum values for files with extended attributes. The attributes are described in alphabetical order. If the `-n` option or the `IGNORE contents` directive is specified, the value of xcontents is `-`.
