Need LFU sample program(s)

2007-12-25 8:53:00

First of all, I've receieved a large number of requests for the location of

lfu. Among other places, it can be found at:

ftp://ftp.cs.umass.edu/pub/rcf/exp/tools/lfu.tar.Z

Also, I solved my question when I discovered that the man page actually _does_

provide a few example programs; the man page just uses a rather strange

formatting so that when I ran the man page through nroff -man, the portion of

the man page with the sample programs didn't show up. Viewing the man page

directly, formatting codes and all, revealed the hidden text.

And for those who wondered what lfu is, it's a program similar to rdist except

that (1) it is not inherently network-based [so it's useful for updating

filesystems residing on the same machine, for example one NFS-mounted and one

on local disk], and (2) it has what seems to be a more descriptive instruction

language than does rdist.
