Davor Ocelic c717fcd32c Update vos suite manpages
Larger collection of all vos suite commands, including but
not limited to:

 -- documented all commands / options, verified against both 1.4 and 1.5 tree
    (including the common -encrypt/-noresolve options)

 -- correct order, POD formatting and synopsis for all commands' options

 -- shorthand synopsis provided for all commands that missed it, with proper
    non-ambiguous command abbreviations of all options

 -- POD synopsis formatted to 80-columns in commands where it was running over

 -- for newer options, documented which OpenAFS version they became available

 -- proper manpage links using L<> in vos.pod

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<vos size> command shows the size of a volume's dump for backup
purposes. The size of the dump may differ from the volume size as reported
by B<vos examine> or B<fs listquota>. The size is shown in bytes.
This command is intended for use with backup systems that want to size
volume dumps before performing them (to optimize use of tape resources,
for example).
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-id> <I<volume name or id>>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the read/write,
read-only, or backup volume to size.
=item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
Specifies the partition on which the volume resides. Provide the
B<-server> argument along with this one.
=item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
Specifies the file server machine on which the volume resides. Provide
the B<-partition> argument along with this one.
=item B<-dump>
Show the size of the volume dump for the specified volume. Currently, this
flag should always be given for B<vos size> to give useful information.
It is present to allow this command to provide other size estimates in the
future.
=item B<-time> <I<dump from time>>
Specifies whether the dump is full or incremental. Omit this argument to
size a full dump. See L<vos_dump(1)> for the valid values for this
option.
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
The cell in which the volume resides, if it's not in the current cell.
=item B<-noauth>
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine
this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
=item B<-localauth>
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
=item B<-verbose>
Show more output about what's going on.
=item B<-encrypt>
Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted
across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS
versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.
=item B<-noresolve>
Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very
useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing
with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS
versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.
=item B<-help>
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
=back
=head1 OUTPUT
When run without B<-verbose>, the output will be:
Volume: <volume>
dump_size: <size>
where <volume> is the name of the volume and <size> is the size of the
dump in bytes. With B<-verbose>, additional status messages will be
printed between those two lines.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Sizing a single user volume:
% vos size user.thoron -dump
Volume: user.thoron
dump_size: 36430
or, more verbosely:
% vos size user.thoron -dump -verbose
Volume: user.thoron
Starting transaction on volume 2003434023... done
Getting size of volume on volume 2003434023... done
Ending transaction on volume 2003434023... done
dump_size: 36430
Sizing an incremental dump for the same volume:
% vos size -id user.thoron -time '05/04/2007 00:00:00' -dump
Volume: user.thoron
dump_size: 21095
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
machine specified with the B<-server> argument or the machine on which the
volume is located if B<-server> was not given. If the B<-localauth> flag
is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as
the local superuser C<root>.
