command plus the syntax described in the selection syntax section
below. The following syntax is supported for sw_spec:
bundle[,version]product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version]!selectionbundle]/[%match]
pattern-matching-expression
where version can be:
[,r <op> revision][,a <op> arch][,v <op> vendor] [,c
<op> category] [,q=qualifier][,l=location][,fr <op>
revision][,fa <op> arch]
where op can be:
=, ==, >=, <=, <, >, or !=

shell wildcard and pattern-matching-expressions:
[ ], *, ?
The syntax !selection causes that selection to be deselected even if
it was listed on the command line as part of other selections.
