SYNOPSIS

       swdirs [ -c | -d ] [ <package-name> ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  swdirs  utility  is  used to manually create a hierarchy of common
       directories in preparation for a  software  package  to  be  installed.
       While  this  is most certainly useless for most software packages, many
       others will fail to install properly unless some essential  directories
       are already present.

       After  having  installed  the  software, swdirs should be used again to
       remove any directory it created but was left empty.

OPTIONS

       -c     This switch is used to create the directories.

       -d     This switch is used to remove empty directories.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       swdirs will use the following environment variables if set:


       SWPKG_NAME
              The package name.

       SWPKG_TARGET
              Overrides the swln compiled in default target directory.

SEE ALSO

       swbuild(8), swinstall(8), swln(8).
