=head1 NAME

B<liteimg> - Modify statelite image by creating a series of links.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<liteimg [-h| --help]>

B<liteimg  [-v| --version]>

B<liteimg> I<imagename>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This command modifies the statelite image by creating a series of links. 
It creates 2 levels of indirection so that files can be modified while in
their image state as well as during runtime. For example, a file like
<$imgroot>/etc/ntp.conf will have the following operations done to it:

I<    mkdir -p $imgroot/.default/etc>

I<    mkdir -p $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc>

I<    mv $imgroot/etc/ntp.conf $imgroot/.default/etc>

I<    cd $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc>

I<    ln -sf ../../../.default/etc/ntp.conf .>

I<    cd $imgroot/etc>

I<    ln -sf ../.statelite/tmpfs/etc/ntp.conf .>


When finished, the original file will reside in
I<$imgroot/.default/etc/ntp.conf>. I<$imgroot/etc/ntp.conf> will link to
I<$imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc/ntp.conf> which will in turn link to
I<$imgroot/.default/etc/ntp.conf>

Note: If you make any changes to your litefile table after running liteimg then you will need to rerun liteimg again.

=head1 PARAMETERS
