By default, package does nothing to elements on disk that have no counterpart in the configuration file, but the issuer can have package remove any element found in a directory on disk that is not also found in that directory in the configuration file. If an element named in the configuration file already exists on disk but is not identical to the configuration file element, then package updates the existing disk version. For example, if an element exists on disk as a symbolic link but is defined as a directory or file in the configuration file, then package will replace the symbolic link with a directory or file. The same holds for directory or file elements on disk that appear in the configuration file as a symbolic link. It can be omitted and ignored.
Package can determine a -fullconfig specifies the configuration file to use.
If the -verbose flag is added, package produces a trace of all the actions it would perform in executing the command, but does not actually perform them. It still reports on major problems encountered. The following invokes the version of the staff configuration file appropriate for this machine' s system type, and produces verbose output.
