        !            14: that  permits you  to restore  all or  some of  the files  to the
        !            15: original file system, and to select files either by name or by i-
        !            16: number.
        !            17: 
        !            18: A  file-system dump  includes all  files  changed since  the dump
        !            19: since date,  plus each file's full path name  (for the benefit of
        !            20: dumpdir).

        !            23: tions.    It   is   made   up   of   characters  from   the   set
        !            24: 0123456789bdfsSuv, which have the following meanings.
        !            25: 
        !            26: 00-99 The digit gives the level number of the dump.  The dump-since
        !            27:     date is the most recent date in the dump-date file /etc/ddate
        !            28:     that is  (1) associated with  this file system and  (2) has a
        !            29:     level number less  than the current dump level.  For example,
        !            30:     if you  request a level-3  dump, dduummpp will back  up all files
        !            31:     not backed up since the last level-2 dump.  A level-0 dump by
        !            32:     definition backs up all files in the file system.
        !            33: 
        !            34: bb   The  next argument gives  the output tape's  _b_l_o_c_k_i_n_g _f_a_c_t_o_r.
        !            35:     The blocking  factor is the number  of dduummppddaattaa structures in
        !            36:     each tape block.  The default blocking factor is 20.
        !            37: 
        !            38: dd   The  next argument  gives the density  of the output  tape in
        !            39:     bytes per  inch.  The default density is  1600 bytes per inch
        !            40:     (bpi).  dump uses the density to compute the quantity of tape
        !            41:     needed.
        !            42: 
        !            43: ff   The next argument gives the path name of the output file.  If
        !            44:     no f option is given, /dev/dump is assumed.
        !            45: 
        !            46: ss   The next argument gives the  length of the dump tape in feet.
        !            47:     dump keeps  a running  total of the  quantity of tape  it has
        !            48:     written, and  it asks for a  new reel if it  appears that the
        !            49:     end of the reel is near.  The default length is 2,300 feet.
        !            50: 
        !            51: SS   The  next argument gives the size of  the dump output device,
        !            52:     in blocks.  This is used only  if you are backing up the file
        !            53:     system  to floppy  disks or  streaming cartridge  tape rather
        !            54:     than to nine-track magnetic tape.
        !            55: 
        !            56: uu   If  the dump  completes without  error, update the  record of
        !            57:     successful dumps kept  in file /etc/ddate.  There is an entry
        !            58:     in this file for every file system and every dump level.
        !            59: 
        !            60: vv   Inform  the user of the  `dump since' date and  the length of
        !            61:     tape used  in feet.  The  length is useful  for computing the
