-f Force deletion from the root: if this is used in combination with -t or -c and
TARGETROOT is a root directory (for example, e:\, \, /).
-t Ensure that the target tree is exactly the tree specified in the package file. If a
directory of the same name exists, the Gather tool does the following:
v Erases the entire contents of the directory and all of its subdirectories
v Destroys the directory and all subdirectories
v Performs a mkdir command to create the entire tree structure again as
specified in the package file
This flag cannot be specified if the -a flag is specified.
If an rmdir command fails during processing, the teamcpak command stops.
If neither -a nor -t is specified, the default is to assume that the desired tree
structure already exists. No verification is performed to confirm that the
directories exist. If they do not, the condition is detected while the package file
rules are being processed. If you stop the teamcpak command, some target
directories might contain updated files.
-m Accept missing source files.
If this flag is not specified, the default is to ensure that at least one file
matches each source specification in the package file. If a match is not found,
the Gather tool stops processing.
-d Accept duplicate files. If a file is found on the target directory that matches the
source file specification, it is overwritten by the source file.
If this flag is not specified, the default is to ensure that no files on the target
match the source file specification. For example, if the source specification is
g*.c, and greg.c is found on the target, the Gather tool stops processing.
-c Clean up the target directories. Erase all files on all target directories that
existed before writing source files to these directories. No confirmation
messages are issued, and permission errors are ignored.
If this flag is not specified, the default is to write the source files into the target
directories without erasing existing files.
-e End with delete. This action removes all source files and directories after the
Gather tool successfully completes.
If this flag is not specified, the default is to end without deleting source files
and directories.
-x Abort without recovery. If the program does not end successfully, no attempt is
made to restore the file system.
If this flag is not specified, the Gather tool attempts to restore the file system if
the program does not end successfully. To do this, the tool first backs up the
file system. The backup directory is the value of the TMP environment variable.
