The version component has the form:
[,r <
op > revision ][,a < op > arch ][,v < op > vendor ]
[,c <
op > category ][,q= qualifier ][,l= location ]
[,fr <
op > revision ][,fa < op > arch ]
where:
• Fully qualified software specifications include the r=, a=, and v=
version components, even if they contain empty strings. For installed
software, l= is also required.
• All version components are repeatable within a single specification
(e.g. r>=A.12, r<A.20). If multiple components are used, the
selection must match all components.
•The <
op > (relational operator) component performs individual
comparisons on dot-separated fields and can be of the form:
=, ==, >=, <=, <, >, or !=
For example, r>=B.11.11 chooses all revisions greater than or equal
to B.11.11. The system compares each dot-separated field to find
matches.
•The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the
shell wildcard and pattern-matching notations: [ ], *, ?, and !
For example, the expression r=1[01].* returns any revision in
version 10 or version 11.
• No space or tab characters are allowed in a software selection.
•
qualifier is a string that can be attached to any product or bundle
to help you filter a software specification.
•
location applies only to installed software and refers to software
installed to a location other than the default product directory.
• fr and fa apply only to filesets.
•A software
instance_id can take the place of the version
component. It has the form:
[
instance_id ]
within the context of an exported catalog, where instance_id is an
integer that distinguishes versions of products and bundles with the
same tag.
