Introduction to Software Distributor
SD-UX Overview
Chapter 1 25
The sd, swinstall, swcopy, swlist, and swremove commands each have an
optional Graphical User Interface (GUI) with windows and pull-down
menus. The GUI commands also work on text-based terminals, providing
a Terminal User Interface (TUI), which uses the keyboard instead of the
mouse for screen navigation.
You can invoke all SD-UX commands and programs from the command
line. The syntax, options, defaults and operands are similar for all
commands. See “Working from the Command Line” on page 55 for more
information.
